Since it was first synthesized in a post-WW2 American lab in 1949, berkelium has been a rebel of the periodic table, defying ...

In covalent bonds, atoms stick together to create a new 'orbital' and some of their electrons move into the new orbital. In ionic bonds, electrons move from one atom to another and the resulting ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have made a groundbreaking ...

Just the opposite: a given property, such as ionic or electronic conductivity ... However, the possible equilibrium structures of an ensemble of atoms are determined exclusively by their free ...

University of Queensland researchers have made a breakthrough in muonic atom research, clearing the way for new nuclear ...

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

Researchers have developed innovative methods to control the ionization of atoms and molecules using specially structured light beams, challenging traditional limits. This breakthrough could lead to ...

Scientists in Germany have achieved something never seen before: creating a stable boron-carbon triple bond. While triple bonds exist between many element pairs, boron and carbon had stubbornly ...

On Thursday morning, Amazon founder and executive chair Jeff Bezos posed a question to his X followers: “Who’d you pick as the next Bond?” Just one day prior, that inquiry may have felt a bi ...

Researchers in France have devised a new technique in quantum sensing that uses trapped ultracold atoms to detect acceleration and rotation. They then combined their quantum sensor with a conventional ...

Florida State University chemists have created a machine learning tool that can identify the chemical composition of dried salt solutions from an image with 99% accuracy. A research team from the ...
