MIT physicists have captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space. The pictures reveal ...

Physicists at the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms have pulled off a feat once confined to the blackboards of theorists ...

Researchers captured the first-ever images of atoms freely interacting in space, offering a rare glimpse into quantum ...

Scientists at the University of California, Davis have successfully altered the LSD molecule slightly, creating a new molecule called JRT by changing the position of two atoms. This ...

To physicists, temperature is a measure of how fast atoms are moving, a reflection of their energy—and absolute zero is the point at which there is absolutely no heat energy remaining to be ...

Heating a substance makes its atoms and molecules move faster. This happens whether the substance is a solid, a liquid, or a gas. It’s not easy to see it happen in a solid but let’s try it for a ...

Energy from the washers is transferred to the water. Molecules in the hot water are moving faster than the atoms in the spoon. Faster-moving water molecules strike the atoms of the spoon, transferring ...
