Chemistry is a subject built on relationships. Atoms connect, electrons move, bonds form, molecules bend, acids and bases ...

Some 40 years ago, physicists noticed certain metals were conducting electricity in a bizarre way no one could explain. New ...

Superconductivity, a phenomenon in which electricity flows without resistance, is considered the core of quantum computers ...

Green peonies, blue dahlias, red crossettes, white and silver chrysanthemums; how are all of these incredible firework ...

Understanding the structure of biomolecules is key to explaining their function. Cryoelectron microscopy is a method for reconstructing the electrostatic potential distribution of a biological ...

Researchers also discovered that liquid gallium is not entirely disordered at its surface, forming subtle, layered atomic patterns influenced by oxidation and impurities. Credit: Stock Gallium has ...

Physicists have developed a highly precise and ultra-sensitive atomic clock based on ytterbium, which could test the limits of the Standard Model and even search for elusive dark matter. Led by Taiki ...

A new chart for highly charged ions (HCIs) has been proposed, aiming to replicate the conventional periodic table’s accessibility and patterns for the cutting edge of atomic physics. This table could ...

Scientists at the X-ray free-electron laser SwissFEL have realized a long-pursued experimental goal in physics: to show how electrons dance together. The technique, known as X-ray four-wave mixing, ...

Applying the theories of Materials Science and Engineering to describe the composition and hierarchy of microstructures that comprise biological systems could help the search for new materials and ...

For the first time, researchers have made niobium sulfide metallic nanotubes with stable, predictable properties, a long-sought goal in advanced materials science. According to the international team, ...

In an international collaboration, researchers at ETH are searching for new physics beyond the Standard Model and for a particle that could explain dark matter. The researchers are carrying out highly ...
