Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) have definitively resolved a two-decade-long controversy regarding ...

Scientists have used pulses of laser light measuring mere quintillionths of a second long to probe the motion of an atom's outermost electrons in real time. Their methods promises a broad new way to ...

Often depicted as colorful balloons or clouds, electron orbitals provide information on the whereabouts of electrons in molecules, a bit like fuzzy snapshots. In order to understand the exchange of ...

These changes are crucial for reactions of molecules on surfaces and can lead to new insights into the development of functional devices. Snapshots of molecular orbitals contain high-precision details ...

Scientists have filmed an electron in motion for the first time, using a new technique that will allow researchers to study the tiny particle's movements directly. Previously it was impossible to ...

(Nanowerk News) Many of you will remember them from your physics lessons at school: often represented as colourful clouds or balloons, electron orbitals provide information on the whereabouts of the ...

An animation shows how an infrared laser beam (orange) triggers atomic vibrations in a thin layer of iron selenide, which are then recorded by ultrafast X-ray laser pulses to create an ultrafast movie ...

A Rutgers-led team of physicists discovered a new explanation for the 'hidden order' puzzle that has vexed physicists for 30 years. In an extremely pure crystalline sample of a uranium, ruthenium and ...

There are many opportunities for graduate student research in computational physics of plasmas and beams, including the study of nanoscale vacuum channel transistors, the study of the formation of ...
