Probing the vibration of atoms provides detailed information on local structure and bonding that define material properties.

New first-principles simulations reveal how metallic surfaces reshape nanoscale vibrational imaging, advancing the ...

Scientists in Germany have shed light on how nanoscale imaging techniques like tip-enhanced Raman ...

Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing ...

Quantum simulations are pushing physicists to rethink what it means for an atom to move. In new work on a quantum computer, researchers report vibrational patterns where atoms seem to oscillate yet ...

To detect radio signals using a gas, researchers first have to perform a quantum magic trick. They use a sequence of lasers to inflate a tiny atom — typically a cesium atom — into a giant version of ...

Machine learning algorithms that output human-readable equations and design rules are transforming how electrocatalysts for ...

In a quantum world drowning in lab demos, Infleqtion is making a different bet—real hardware, real missions, real deployments ...

A couple of weeks back I posted an answer to a question from a Twitter follower’s child, who asked “How Strong Is Space?” That was fun, so here’s another kid-question answered, this one from my own ...
