This principle of unity transforming individuals into something qualitatively different is beautifully mirrored in Judaism.

One of the world's most sophisticated scientific facilities is turning to ultra-low temperatures to try and unravel hidden ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.

In a landmark discovery that bridges nearly a century of theoretical physics, a Chinese research team has successfully ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical ...

Using short laser pulses, researchers have imaged the exact moment an ammonia molecule bends and sheds a hydrogen atom.

Known as “islands of inversion,” these odd regions are found among a sea of normal nuclei. Now, a new island may have been ...

In 1929, Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented the cyclotron: a compact, efficient particle accelerator that used magnets. Two ...

Atomic and molecular physics it the study of the properties, dynamics and interactions of the basic (but not fundamental) building blocks of matter. A crucial component of this is understanding the ...

The electronic structure of atoms and molecules is the series of energy levels that it are possible for a bound electron to occupy. This electronic structure determines many of the defining ...

An interatomic potential is a set of mathematical rules that describes the complex dance of forces between atoms — how atomic ...
