Scientists have uncovered a new way to explore the complex transformations of 2D nanomaterials. By using nanoscale vibrating ...

A crucial component of this is understanding the behaviour of the electrons that surround the atomic nucleus; these dynamics dominate the way atoms and molecules interact with their environment.

Superconducting circuits are being used to create new types of quantum systems that are much easier to control and much more tunable than natural quantum systems like atoms. (Microscopic picture of ...

Pam Jordan, who has died aged 99, was believed to be the last of six women who served as Second World War motorcycle despatch riders in the Air Transport Auxiliary, or ATA. The younger of two ...

Understanding free radicals requires a basic knowledge of chemistry. Atoms are surrounded by electrons that orbit the atom in layers called shells. Each shell needs to be filled by a set number of ...
