Scientists in Germany's Max Planck Institute (MPI) showed that metal surfaces can reshape what atomic motion looks like at ...

A new topology-based method predicts atomic charges in metal-organic frameworks from bond connectivity alone, making large-scale computational screening practical.

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

The race to build reliable quantum computers is fraught with obstacles, and one of the most difficult to overcome is related ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts and more ...

In 1927, Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr debated the nature of what’s known as complementarity—the idea that a photon’s dual wave-like and particle natures can’t be measured at the same time. Now, two ...

In the early days of D-Wave’s history, the company made a decision to pursue annealing as its first technology to build a quantum computer because it promised to offer the fastest path to commercial ...

Have you ever doubted your knowledge or expertise? Noticed, if you’re a woman, that you receive less recognition than your male colleagues do, that your ideas were unheard in a discussion until they ...

The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we dive into fascinating ideas from around the universe. You can sign up for Lost in Space-Time here. Adolf Hitler died ...

Despite its simplicity, the model is foundational. It is often the first non-trivial system for which students solve the Schrödinger equation exactly, and it beautifully illustrates core quantum ideas ...
