Ultrafast X-rays revealed how a molecule converts absorbed light into motion in just trillionths of a second. Individual ...

Physicists at MIT have developed a new way to probe inside an atom's nucleus, using the atom's own electrons as "messengers" within a molecule. Typically, experiments to probe the inside of atomic ...

For years, if you asked the people working to create new pharmaceutical drugs what they wished for, at the top of their lists would be a way to easily replace a carbon atom with a nitrogen atom in a ...

Progress in chemistry is often gradual, with some of its most important advances taking years—sometimes decades—to unfold. A case in point is the discovery of a novel "ferrocenophane" from the class ...

Scientists at the European XFEL have observed light-driven chemical reactions unfolding atom by atom using time-resolved ...

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 ...
