Atoms that occur in nature interact with the electromagnetic field at a single point, allowing scientists to make certain assumptions about energy levels with point-like references. However, ...

Starlight and stardust are not enough to drive the powerful winds of giant stars, transporting the building blocks of life through our galaxy. That’s the conclusion of a new study published in ...

Like their conventional counterparts, quantum computers can also break down. They can sometimes lose the atoms they manipulate to function, which can stop calculations dead in their tracks. But ...

Zhixin Wang does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces between three or more atoms bind them together, even ...

It would be great if these new developments no longer require pyiron_atomistics Atoms objects but rather work with ASE atoms objects. Many of the commonly used ...

Repeatedly energising a collection of ultracold atoms should destroy their collective structure, but quantum effects seem to counteract the process. “We expected to see the opposite,” says Nӓgerl. The ...

When running high-throughput DFT calculations with the ase.calculators.abacus.Abacus calculator on a cluster where the working directory is mounted via NFS, there appears to be a race condition. The ...

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, ...
