Researchers have visualized atoms in motion just before a radiation-driven decay process occurs, revealing a surprisingly ...

Gerd Binnig shared The Kavli Prize in Nanoscience in 2016 for inventing the atomic force microscope. What transformative impact has this invention had on nanoscience? This podcast was produced for The ...

So, what exactly is the quantum chemistry definition? It sounds fancy, right? Basically, it’s about using the weird rules of ...

SP hybridization occurs when one s orbital and one p orbital from the same atom combine to form two new orbitals of equal energy. These new orbitals are linearly oriented 180 degrees apart, leading to ...

Despite a deep understanding of the properties of individual atoms -- the 'ingredients' that make up a crystal -- scientists found that, when they are combined they often display new, unanticipated ...
