Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This process, called skeletal editing, can dramatically speed up drug discovery ...

Control of heat transport in nanostructures is of central importance for numerous modern technologies—from high-performance computer chips that need to be cooled to energy converters—and is a highly ...

Molecular Nanotechnology is characterized by its goal of atomic precision. It aims to design and build machinery and materials at the molecular level, enabling unprecedented control over physical ...

This image depicts the radium atom’s pear-shaped nucleus of protons and neutrons in the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons (yellow), and an electron (yellow ball with arrow) that has a ...

(Nanowerk News) Physicists are getting closer to controlling single-molecule chemical reactions – could this shape the future of pharmaceutical research? Controlling matter at the atomic level has ...

Ion-atom collision dynamics explores the fundamental interactions that occur when charged particles impact neutral atoms, leading to processes such as elastic scattering, excitation, ionisation and ...

Physicists are getting closer to controlling single-molecule chemical reactions -- could this shape the future of pharmaceutical research? Controlling matter at the atomic level has taken a major step ...

The ability to produce cold and ultracold molecules has opened new avenues to probe fundamental physics, develop novel technologies and understand quantum chemical phenomena. Through precise ...

Molecules: groups of atoms bonded together. Chemical Reaction: the process of atoms and molecules creating or breaking bonds; often leads to a change in color, smell, temperature, or other changes in ...
