Researchers from the Institute of Metal Research (IMR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have stretched a chain of gold ...

For the first time, scientists have recorded electrons in the act of snapping chemical bonds, turning an abstract quantum ...

All chemical elements were formed in the process of evolution of the Universe dominated by light atomic nuclei. The properties of these nuclei are therefore of crucial importance not only in ...

A group of researchers has demonstrated a method that allows scientists to experimentally measure how the chemical bonds of materials are altered when two different materials are linked together. This ...

(Nanowerk News) Low-dimensional materials, such as 1D monoatomic chains, exhibit exotic properties that could find interesting applications. However, single-atom bonds and their mechanical ...
