Researchers have uncovered new insights into the reaction pathways of the universe’s first molecule. Shortly after the Big ...

The word magic is not often used in the context of science. But in the early 1930s, scientists discovered that some atomic nuclei – the center part of atoms, which make up all matter – were ...

Researchers develop a simple method to build stable, atom-thick metal layers using tiny defects in carbon, enabling efficient ...

Interactions between atoms and light rule the behavior of our physical world, but at the same time, can be extremely complex. Understanding and harnessing them is one of the major challenges for ...

A newly discovered aluminium isotope rapidly self-destructs by ejecting three protons in a rare sequence — shaking up our understanding of atomic decay.

Covalent bonds, in which two atoms are bound together by sharing a pair of electrons, form the scaffolding that underpins the majority of organic compounds. In 1931, the Nobel Laureate Linus ...

A research team from Hokkaido University has confirmed a century-old theory by discovering a stable single-electron covalent bond, known as a sigma bond, between two carbon atoms. This unique bond ...
