Single-atom catalysts (SACs), with their excellent metal atom utilization and unique physicochemical properties, hold promise ...

Researchers demonstrate orbital hybridization in graphene-based quantum dots, revealing how anisotropic confinement influences electronic states at the atomic scale.

All of these systems are made up of dissimilar materials that, where they join at the atomic scale, display very different behaviour from what might be expected of the bulk materials. Advances in ...

The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

A research team led by Professor Sun Qing-Feng in collaboration with Professor He Lin's research group from Beijing Normal University has achieved orbital hybridization in graphene-based artificial ...

Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (commonly referred to AMO Physics) is the study of the interaction between light and matter. Physicists study this interaction on various scales, from the atomic ...

Why it matters: 1. Quantum dots, often called artificial atoms, can mimic atomic orbitals but have not yet been used to simulate orbital hybridization, a crucial process in real atoms. 2.

Researchers have explored the interplay between gravitational effects and quantum interactions in optical atomic clocks, revealing more about quantum entanglement in precision timekeeping.
