For the first time, scientists have recorded electrons in the act of snapping chemical bonds, turning an abstract quantum ...

New research suggests that the Earth's solid inner core is softer and more dynamic than previously thought, changing ideas.

Chemistry textbooks explain how reactions start and end, but they rarely show what happens ...

Researchers at TU Wien have discovered a quantum system where energy and mass move with perfect efficiency. In an ultracold gas of atoms confined to a single line, countless collisions occur—but ...

A team of scientists has directly observed catalysis in-action at the atomic level. In mesmerizing new videos, single atoms move and shake during a chemical reaction that removes hydrogen atoms from ...

Tokyo, Japan – At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables “quantum tunneling”, the passage of an atom through a barrier with a higher ...
