Students are guided to take atoms apart, rearrange them, and put them together again in different ways to make six different molecules. Students also see a fun molecule-making game that they can try.

In this news release, researchers from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) report that they have demonstrated for the first time that six charged atoms of beryllium ...

In a new study, physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have used a cloud of atoms chilled down to incredibly cold ...

The NIST work, while a long way from full entanglement of a real cat's roughly 10 26 atoms, extends the domain where Schrödinger cat states can exist to at least six atoms.

Roos et al. 6 simplify things by focusing mainly on molecules made up of two atoms of the same elements, in which there are no further bonds to complicate the analysis. They considered all ...

It contains a carbon atom that bonds to six other atoms instead of the four we have been told carbon is limited to. Atoms form molecules by sharing electrons. Carbon has four electrons that it can ...

Bosons — particles like photons or helium-4 atoms — are gregarious. They tend to occupy the same space. Fermions — like electrons or lithium-6 atoms — are loners, barred from occupying the ...

New insights into a popular and potentially useful model of how electrons behave in solids have been provided by an experiment involving ultracold atoms. Markus Greiner and colleagues at Harvard ...

A quantum computer built using giant atoms controlled by laser light may be enough to imitate some functions of the brain, such as memory and decision-making. Rodrigo Araiza Bravo at Harvard ...

"Our findings suggest that SRO is ubiquitous in MPEAs with a face-centered cubic structure—a type of crystal structure shaped like a cube with six atoms at each face—and cannot be avoided ...

Physicists have used a cloud of atoms chilled down to incredibly cold temperatures to simultaneously measure acceleration in ...
