Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) have definitively resolved a two-decade-long controversy regarding ...

Electronics traditionally rely on harnessing the electron's charge, but researchers are now exploring the possibility of ...

Before diving into which orbitals cannot exist, let's first revisit the quantum numbers that govern the properties of atomic orbitals: Principal Quantum Number (n): This number determines the energy ...

Atoms with more than 4 valence electrons tend to gain electrons to achieve a stable configuration, forming negative ions ...

During this time, advancing optical technology repeatedly opened new sub-fields of atomic, molecular and solid-state science, most notably real-time chemistry 4. It also became possible to do ...

Since the discovery of electricity, countless advancements in technology have relied on harnessing the electron's charge, which is the fundamental ...

Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s ...

I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...
