Researchers tested a strategy for developing single-atom catalysts that may help us develop more efficient methods for water purification.

When atoms collide, their exact structure—for example, the number of electrons they have or even the quantum spin of their ...

Atomic nuclei exhibit multiple energy scales simultaneously—ranging from hundreds down to fractions of a megaelectronvolt. A new study demonstrates that these drastically different scales can be ...
