Chemistry textbooks explain how reactions start and end, but they rarely show what happens in between. Seeing these hidden moments matters because chemistry is ultimately governed by quantum rules. By ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively ...

A pulse of light sets the tempo in the material. Atoms in a crystalline sheet just a few atoms thick begin to move—not randomly, but in a coordinated rhythm, twisting and untwisting in sync like ...

When you’re brushing your teeth and you’ve squeezed out the last bit of toothpaste, you probably toss the empty tube in the trash. Few people realize that most toothpaste tubes are now recyclable—at ...

A new method using spiraling electron beams allows scientists to directly observe electrons in motion, unlocking new insights into quantum processes and molecular behavior. Credit: SciTechDaily.com ...

Electrons are incredibly fast. Because of their ultrafast motions, directly observing their behavior has been challenging. Now researchers have suggested a new method to make visualizing electron ...

This year tube tops are making a comeback as early ‘00s aesthetics are resurfacing and the weather starts to heat things up. This resurgence aligns with fashion trends going back to previous eras–the ...
