The discovery challenges basic assumptions about how metals solidify In A Nutshell Liquid metal contains stationary atoms: Some metal atoms remain fixed in liquid nanoparticles by bonding to defects ...

The atypical structure of the radium monofluoride molecule allows physicists to search for answers to some of the universe’s biggest questions.

A new study, published in early November in Nature Physics, details a breakthrough in understanding the dynamics of halide perovskites, revealing insights crucial for advancing optoelectronics ...

Scientists have finally glimpsed chemistry at its smallest level after capturing the first-ever X-ray of a single atom. Atoms are the tiniest particles in our universe, and they're the basic ...

When two hydrogen atoms get close enough, the electron from each atom feels an attraction from the proton in the other atom's nucleus. This attraction pulls the atoms together. The electrons end up ...

A small piece of sodium metal is placed in a flask of chlorine gas. A little water helps expose the sodium so it can react with the chlorine gas. The reaction releases a lot of heat as the ionic ...
