In the depths of our solar system — a realm where chemistry meets speculation — scientists have reported the possible existence of a molecule known as aquodiium, an elusive cousin of the ammonium ion.

In a Caltech lab, a computer screen showed thousands of tiny points of light—each one a single atom, held in place by laser beams. This striking image revealed 6,100 stable quantum bits, or qubits. It ...

Atoms within the enormous ball of iron in Earth's inner core may move around much more than previously thought, which could explain recent findings about the core's surprising softness. When you ...

Super-sized rubidium atoms have been used as a receiver to stream live colour video and video games. This atomic system could be employed to make small and versatile communications devices that don’t ...

But ‘wiggling’ atoms behave differently; they form a thin sheet of atoms that move together in sync. Because they vibrate in ...

The standard explanation of the cosmos, recited in schools globally, involves a Big Bang followed by nature's four fundamental forces fashioning their magic upon matter. It’s presented as a ...
