Quantum technologies, computers or other devices that operate leveraging quantum mechanical effects, rely on the precise ...

Researchers developed an AI-guided method that dramatically speeds up a widely used X-ray technique known as X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. It does so with far less risk of ...

On a recent Saturday morning at the Savannah River Site Museum, a group of Scouts leaned over tables scattered with Geiger ...

AMES, Iowa – A tiny, solid sample of a drug, complete with active and inactive ingredients, spun at 50,000 revolutions per ...

The lead sponge phenomenon raised unexpected questions about metal formation. During a reaction, lead appeared in an unusual ...

Actinides are a group of heavy, radioactive elements that include uranium, plutonium, americium, curium, berkelium and californium. Understanding how these elements bond with other atoms (known as ...

Scientists can create gold in labs through complex nuclear reactions, altering elements like mercury or platinum. However, this process is astronomically expensive and yields microscopic amounts, ...

In the strange world of quantum physics, even the tiniest tweak can unlock outsized rewards.

A global database of nuclear physics discoveries spanning more than a century has ranked three University of Surrey physicists among the world’s top 10 for discovering and characterising nuclear ...

The Schrödinger equation rewrote the rules of matter and forever changed the field of chemistry. Donald Truhlar, a chemist at the University of Minnesota, calls it the “greatest advance of the 20th ...

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.
