The post Technique Pioneered BY MIT Physicists Breaks New Ground In The Visualization Of Atomic Behavior first on TwistedSifter. Sure you learned about them in your high school Chemistry classes, but ...

Sometimes genius looks like an elegant equation written in chalk on a blackboard. Sometimes it’s a hodgepodge of wires, canisters and aluminum-foil-wrapped hoses, all held together by shiny ...

Lasers are often used for heating materials, but they can also be harnessed for localized cooling of ICs. Laser cooling works ...

30 years of moving atoms: How scanning probe microscopes revolutionized nanoscience Thanks to the instruments’ atomic dexterity, researchers have advanced science and made stunning images along ...

IBM has figured out how much force it takes to move atoms. Next, it will try to build things with those atoms.

Key Concepts In a solid, the atoms are very attracted to one another. The atoms vibrate but stay in fixed positions because of their strong attractions for one another. Heating a solid increases the ...

Moving atoms in the quantum world When a particle passes through a barrier that it normally wouldn’t be able to go through, this phenomenon is called tunneling.

Accel, a leading global venture capital firm, today announced an expansion of its pre-seed scaling program with the launch of ...

Physicists describe how they manipulated atoms in an unusual state of matter wherein they act much more like a single, wave-like structure than a group of individual particles.

The atoms in the spoon move faster (increasing temperature) and the molecules in the water move slower (decreasing temperature). When fast-moving atoms or molecules hit slower-moving atoms or ...

A study found that certain groupings of iron atoms in the Earth’s inner core are able to move about rapidly, changing their places in a split second while maintaining the underlying metallic structure ...

He found inspiration in a set of published wish lists from pharmaceutical-industry scientists who were looking for ways to transform medicinal chemistry 1, 2. Among their dreams, one concept stood out ...
