Research offers new insights into the role of cluster shapes in catalyzing reactions at the nanoscale

"The results demonstrate the power of international collaboration for addressing complex challenges in science," says ORNL director.

Atomic nuclei are small in stature but huge when it comes to trying to figure out how our universe began and why it operates the way it does

New funding will allow scientists to explore the formation of novel types of molecular aggregates at extreme conditions

Physicists have wondered in recent years if they could control how atoms interact using light. Now they know that they can. 

For the first time, researchers demonstrate a wave matter technique that could cool molecules

Physicists at the University of Washington have conducted the most precise and controlled measurements yet of the interaction between the atoms and molecules that comprise air and the type of carbon surface used in battery electrodes and air filters — key information for improving those technologies.

Bestselling author Sam Kean takes us through the nearly 2,400-year quest to see the atom in a new episode of the Reactions sub-series, “Legends of Chemistry”
