Now you know that atoms are really small and that there are huge numbers of them, but here are a few other atom facts you might find interesting. Where do atoms come from ... these two elements make ...

From nearly indestructible metals, like tungsten, to delicate clouds in the sky, atoms make up everything around us. But do these atoms ... But a closer look reveals that this nucleus comprises ...

With the STM, resolving atoms within an adsorbed molecule is difficult because the tunnelling current is sensitive to the local electron density of states near the Fermi level, and this density of ...

In this mind-bending series, Jim Al-Khalili looks at the various sizes in the universe, ranging from the tiniest objects measuring just a few atoms to vast structures consisting of hundreds of ...

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has discovered a new way to measure the orientation ...

This is an artist's depiction of what a group of atoms looks like when they merge to a wave-like state. This occurs under ultra-cooling that drops atoms' temperature to near absolute zero ...
