Using nuclear magnetic resonance, researchers at ETH Zurich have studied the atomic environments of single platinum atoms in ...

An international team of researchers, led by scientists from GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Germany, has studied r-process ...

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

A precious metal used everywhere from car exhaust systems to fuel cells, platinum is an incredibly efficient catalyst—but it's costly and carbon-intensive. Now, a serendipitous collaboration between ...

The discovery itself is simple and fundamental, but the applications stretch far and wide into astrophysics and quantum ...

A new method uses helium droplets combined with ultrashort laser pulses to trigger chemical reactions in a controlled way.

The world’s largest atom smasher has conducted its first-ever collisions between protons and oxygen ions, as part of an ...

As few as five electrons in a semiconductor can exhibit collective behaviour, forming a “Coulomb liquid”, according to researchers in Europe. This extends the study of correlated systems to electron ...

Interactive 3D Atom Visualizer This project is an interactive 3D visualization of atomic structures, built using web technologies. It allows users to select different chemical elements and see a ...
