Physicists have now demonstrated a particle accelerator so small it fits inside a single molecule, shrinking one of science’s most imposing machines to the scale of chemistry. Instead of ...

Scientists recently created a never-before-seen four-atom molecule — the coldest of its kind ever made. Researchers created the oddball molecule — a strange configuration of sodium-potassium with an ...

Understanding the chemical properties of a molecule is an inherently quantum problem, making quantum computers a good tool ...

The scientists could observe spatially resolved the molecule with the help of a self-build ion microscope. When single particles like atoms and ions bond, molecules emerge. Such bonds between to ...

When we think of ions, we usually think of single atoms that have lost or gained some electrons, but entire molecules can also become ions. Physicists now show that cold molecular ions can be created ...

In a basement room at Austria's University of Graz sits a jumble of steel tanks and ice-encrusted tubes. The contraption, a scanning tunneling microscope, can snap pictures of individual atoms and ...

A new study has found a few odd surprises about the first molecule in the universe, suggesting our models of the early cosmos may need a little update. Shortly after the Big Bang the universe was a ...
