A new AI framework called THOR is transforming how scientists calculate the behavior of atoms inside materials. Instead of relying on slow simulations that take weeks of supercomputer time, the system ...

Long before nanotechnology existed, Richard Feynman explained how atoms could store huge amounts of information in microscopic spaces.

Nuclear isomers are crucial probes for studying the structure of nuclei. Unlike chemical isomers—which have the same chemical formula but different arrangements of atoms—nuclear isomers are nuclei ...

Gold and other heavy elements are born in some of the universe’s most violent events—but scientists still struggle to understand the nuclear steps that create them. Now, nuclear physicists have ...

Scientists have discovered that electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, driven by tiny atomic vibrations.

Superconductivity is a quantum state of matter characterized by an electrical resistance of zero and the expulsion of ...

She laid much of the theoretical groundwork for the atomic bomb, although she did not participate directly in its production.

Strange things happen to materials when you peel them down, layer by layer, from thick chunks all the way to sheets just an ...

A subtle twist between atomically thin magnetic layers can generate unexpectedly large and complex spin structures. A tiny twist between two ultrathin crystals can act like a new control dial for ...
