The key is to embed a radium atom in a molecule, which contains and intensifies the activities of its electrons, explains ...

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, ...

MIT scientists used radium monofluoride atom to observe electrons entering atomic nuclei, revealing new details of nuclear magnetism.

Scientists have developed a new method that can help them probe inside atom’s nucleus. Developed by researchers at MIT, the method uses the atom’s own electrons as “messengers” within a molecule to ...

Physicists have uncovered how direct atom-atom interactions can amplify superradiance, the collective burst of light from ...

Rice University researchers studying a class of atom-thin semiconductors known as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) ...

Solute clustering in the Mg-2at.%Zn alloy predicted by atomistic simulations. Over the last couple of decades, researchers have been able to demonstrate that tiny groupings of solute atoms at the ...

Rice researchers studying a class of atom-thin semiconductors known as transition metal dichalcogenides have discovered that light can trigger a physical shift in their atomic lattice, creating a ...
