The key is to embed a radium atom in a molecule, which contains and intensifies the activities of its electrons, explains ...

MIT scientists used radium monofluoride atom to observe electrons entering atomic nuclei, revealing new details of nuclear magnetism.

Scientists have developed a new method that can help them probe inside atom’s nucleus. Developed by researchers at MIT, the method uses the atom’s own electrons as “messengers” within a molecule to ...

Physicists have uncovered how direct atom-atom interactions can amplify superradiance, the collective burst of light from ...

Rice University researchers studying a class of atom-thin semiconductors known as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) ...

Solute clustering in the Mg-2at.%Zn alloy predicted by atomistic simulations. Over the last couple of decades, researchers have been able to demonstrate that tiny groupings of solute atoms at the ...

Rice researchers studying a class of atom-thin semiconductors known as transition metal dichalcogenides have discovered that light can trigger a physical shift in their atomic lattice, creating a ...
