Physical chemists are focused on understanding the physical properties of atoms and molecules, the way chemical reactions work, and what these properties reveal. Their discoveries are based on ...

physical and chemical interactions form the radioactive isotope carbon-14. Living organisms absorb this carbon-14 into their tissue. Once they die, the absorption stops, and the carbon-14 begins very ...

This book provides a comprehensive description of the physics of Rydberg atoms, highlighting their remarkable properties by reference to their behavior in a wide range of physical situations.

found that the conductivity of twisted bilayer graphene is not heavily impacted by physical or chemical manipulations and instead depends more on how the material's minute geometry structure changes ...

"It destroys creativity when we have rules that supposedly can't be overcome," the California-based researchers said.

An international team led by scientists of GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz, succeeded in determining the chemical properties of the ...

A study published in Nano Letters by researchers from the Florida State University Department of Physics and ...

It took weeks to observe the behavior of one and a half dozen precious, but very short-lived, atoms of these exotic elements.

Writing with atoms marks a new era in quantum materials, enabling scientists to engineer atomic-scale properties for quantum ...

Turning plastic into solid carbon is not easy. Heat the polymers to rearrange their carbon atoms, and they decompose into light hydrocarbons and gases. But researchers at the US National Energy ...

Where does the periodic table of chemical elements end and which processes lead to the existence of heavy elements? An ...

A new study captured never-before-seen footage of hydrogen and oxygen atoms combining to form a ... This is largely because it can catalyze many other chemical reactions and is used in a wide ...
