Scientists in Germany have achieved a world first by moving individual atoms from one position to a precisely defined final ...

Author provided Under the correct conditions, when such twisted light is shone onto a moving Bose-Einstein condensate, the atoms are first attracted toward the bright ring before being rotated ...

An increase in the motion of the atoms competes with the attraction between atoms and causes them to move a little further apart. Cooling a solid decreases the motion of the atoms. A decrease in the ...

IBM has figured out how much force it takes to move atoms. Next, it will try to build things with those atoms. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where he covers hardware ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have created a groundbreaking quantum device that can measure 3D ...

Understanding how atoms move across metal surfaces is critical for improving technologies that store and generate energy, ...

Knowing what you do about heating and cooling atoms and molecules, why do you think the temperature changed? If necessary, guide students’ thinking about why the temperature of each changed by asking ...

When we talk about how molecules move, this motion “can be separated into the center of mass and relative motion between atoms,” Levi explained. “Because the molecule consists of atoms bound ...

The team realized that if they have a microscope that can resolve atoms, we may be able to use the same microscope to move atoms or alter materials with atomic precision. The research team also ...

A model of iron atoms on the move in Earth's inner core. The model demonstrates how iron atoms are expected to move about in the Earth’s inner core over 10 picoseconds, or 10 trillionths of a second. ...

A study led by The University of Texas at Austin and collaborators in China found that certain groupings of iron atoms in the Earth’s inner core are able to move about rapidly, changing their places ...
