Cadmium-based nanostructures are opening new possibilities in near-infrared (NIR) technology, from medical imaging to fiber ...

Since their advent, they have helped scientists see structures as small as individual atoms. But they suffer from a fundamental drawback — to image individual atoms, samples have to be placed in ...

If measured in centimeters, the answer will be in cubic centimeters (cm³). Mass is measured in grams. The units for density will be g/cm³. Arrangement of atoms in different metals is similar.

The atoms of some elements, like copper, do not join together and instead exist on their own as individual atoms and are not molecules. The atoms of other elements, however, like hydrogen ...

Scientists have unlocked a new way to control ionization, the process where atoms lose electrons, using specially designed ...

In recent years, physicists have been trying to better understand the behavior of individual quantum particles as they move ...

Scientists have devised a way to store and read data from individual atoms embedded in tiny crystals only a few millimeters ...

When working with the quantum realm, researchers are dealing with the miniscule scale of individual atoms and of photons, the basic particles of light. At this scale, matter does not behave ...

What interests the Würzburg chemists about the new molecule: "Compounds in which individual atoms feel 'uncomfortable' often show a very interesting reactivity," explains Maximilian Michel ...

M any objects that we normally deal with in quantum physics are only visible with special microscopes—individual molecules or ...
