Scientists create the world’s thinnest gold
by
•Scientists have created a new form of gold which is just two atoms thick — the thinnest unsupported gold ever created. …read more Source:: Science
What a never-before-seen radioactive decay could tell us about neutrinos
by
•In a new set of results, chemists have laid the foundation for a single-atom illumination strategy called barium tagging. Their achievement is the first known imaging of single atoms in …read more Source:: Science
Scientists drill into white graphene to create artificial atoms
by
•By drilling holes into a thin two-dimensional sheet of hexagonal boron nitride with a gallium-focused ion beam, scientists have created artificial atoms that generate single photons, which work in air …read more Source:: Science
Atoms may hum a tune from grand cosmic symphony
by
•Researchers playing with a cloud of ultracold atoms uncovered behavior that bears a striking resemblance to the universe in microcosm. Their work forges new connections between atomic physics and the …read more Source:: Science
In a first, tiny diamond anvils trigger chemical reactions by squeezing
by
•Scientists have turned the smallest possible bits of diamond and other super-hard specks into ‘molecular anvils’ that squeeze and twist molecules until chemical bonds break and atoms exchange electrons. These …read more Source:: Science
Fireworks from atoms at ultra-low temperatures
by
•Scientists aren’t normally treated to fireworks when they discover something about the universe. But a team of researchers found a show waiting for them at the atomic level — along …read more Source:: Science
First look at electrons escaping atoms
by
•Researchers have taken a first step toward controlling electrons’ behavior inside matter — and thus the first step down a long and complicated road that could eventually lead to the …read more Source:: Science
Record for fastest light pulse set
by
•A research team has demonstrated a 53-attosecond X-ray flash, opening the door to shoot slow-motion video of electrons and atoms in living cells. …read more Source:: Science
Atomic clock mimics long-sought synthetic magnetic state
by
•Physicists have caused atoms in a gas to behave as if they possess unusual magnetic properties long sought in harder-to-study solid materials. …read more Source:: Science
