Physicists have straight noticed ultracold atoms forming 'quantum tornadoes' in a spinning fluid of ultracold atoms. The observations document a key crossover from classical to quantum habits.

Skinny buildings fabricated from black phosphorus can tune the properties of sunshine, with implications for science and know-how.

Exploring and manipulating the habits of polar vortices in materials might result in new know-how for quicker knowledge switch and storage.

Scientists have miniaturized the optical elements required to chill atoms down to some thousandths of a level above absolute zero, step one in using them on microchips to drive a brand new era of super-accurate atomic clocks, allow navigation with out GPS, and simulate quantum programs.

A staff of researchers has developed a brand new option to management and measure atoms which are so shut collectively no optical lens can distinguish them.

In a brand new research, researchers report on making massive single-crystal sheets of hexagonal boron nitride, touted as a key insulator in future two-dimensional electronics.

Natural molecules with atoms of the semi-metal boron are essential constructing blocks for synthesis merchandise to provide medicine and agricultural chemical substances. Nonetheless, the conversion of drugs generally utilized in trade typically ends in the lack of the dear boron unit, which may change one other atom in a molecule. ...

Scientists have for the primary time captured and filmed atoms bonding collectively, utilizing superior microscopy strategies they captured a second that's round half 1,000,000 instances smaller than the width of a human hair.

Freestanding clusters of twenty gold atoms take the form of a pyramid, researchers found. That is in distinction with most components, which arrange themselves by forming shells round one central atom.
