You can say the universe has a split personality. Or better said, our physical models of the universe are the ones fractured.

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

A flame goes out, and something in the room shifts with it. Not because matter has vanished, but because a structure has ...

Understanding how a crack grows in metal requires simultaneously calculating the behavior of hundreds of billions of atoms: ...

The ability to describe the internal structure of atoms is important not only for understanding the composition of matter, but also for designing new experiments to explore fundamental physics.

Superconductivity—the ability of a material to conduct electricity without any energy loss to heat—enables highly efficient, ...

Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have uncovered a new way to manipulate unusual magnetic states by exploiting “frustration” inside a crystal’s atomic structure. The team discovered a rare system where ...

Scanning Tunneling Microscopes (STMs) are amazing tools which can manipulate singular atoms, but they cannot characterize these atoms as they act only on the outer electron shell. Meanwhile X-ray ...

Unexpected shapes of mesoscale atoms -- structures built of microdroplets encapsulated within microdroplets -- have been created at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of ...

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) have developed a novel method for investigating the internal structure of atoms and discovered ...
