Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces ...

Images are the first experimental evidence of long-predicted low-energy atomic vibrations called moiré phasons in twisted 2D ...

Almost everything on Earth is made up of atoms, but where do these fundamental building blocks come from?

Astronomers have glimpsed the inner structure of a dying star in a rare kind of cosmic explosion called an "extremely ...

How do more massive atoms form? So, the hydrogen and helium atoms formed during recombination, when the cooler temperature allowed electrons to fall into orbits.

How does electricity work? The universe as we know it is governed by four fundamental forces: the strong nuclear force (which holds subatomic particles together inside atoms), the weak nuclear ...

An international team of physicists kept solid gold intact while superheating it to 19,000 Kelvin, about 33,740 degrees Fahrenheit ...

The high-quality and programmable preparation, evolution, and detection of atoms in a lattice demonstrated in this work can be applied in the situation where the atoms interact.

The Nobel Prize in physics was awarded Tuesday to three scientists who look at electrons in atoms during the tiniest of split seconds.
