Structure dictates function. Scientists are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to design the arrangement of ...

Chapters: 0:00 — The question: Why atoms are structured this way 1:30 — It's all about energy 2:48 — How the Schrödinger ...

The positions of all the atoms in a sample of a metallic glass have been measured experimentally — fulfilling a decades-old dream for glass scientists, and raising the prospect of fresh insight into ...

Introduction At the heart of chemical bonding are electrons. When atoms approach each other, the quantum states of their ...

Hollow atoms are special atoms with multiple missing electrons in their inner shells, while their outer shells are still fully or partially filled with electrons. Studying the production mechanisms, ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have extended a generative AI model to jointly design crystal structures and local electronic descriptors, producing more stable, valid, and novel candidate ...

Vortices may conjure a mental image of whirlpools and tornadoes—spinning bodies of water and air—but they can also exist on much smaller scales. In a new study published in Science, researchers from ...

Researchers at the Kastler Brossel Laboratory in Paris have made the most precise measurement of one of the fundamental constants, called the fine-structure constant, providing physicists with a vital ...

Cholesterol comprises carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It is a waxy, fatty substance that is solid and white or light yellow. Its chemical formula is C 27 H 46 O. This means it has 27 atoms of carbon, 46 ...
