Matter is made up of very small parts called atoms. Atoms can combine in different numbers and in different ways to make different molecules. Atoms and molecules make up all of the different ...

For the engineer or scientist using spectroscopic laser diagnostics to investigate gas-phase media or plasmas, this book is an excellent resource for gaining a deeper understanding of the physics of ...

Note: This video is designed to help the teacher better understand the lesson and is NOT intended to be shown to students. It includes observations and conclusions that students are meant to make on ...

Rydberg molecules and atoms comprise a captivating branch of modern quantum chemistry and atomic physics, where atoms in highly excited electronic states interact to form unusually long-range ...

Like soft serve ice cream, beams of atoms and molecules now come with a swirl. Vortex beams made of light or electrons have shown promise for making special types of microscope images and for ...

The scientists could observe spatially resolved the molecule with the help of a self-build ion microscope. When single particles like atoms and ions bond, molecules emerge. Such bonds between to ...

Researchers have developed innovative methods to control the ionization of atoms and molecules using specially structured light beams, challenging traditional limits. This breakthrough could lead to ...

For all its possibilities, nature tends to replay one particular scene over and over again: the confrontation between matter and light. It stages the scene in a practically infinite number of ways, ...

Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces ...

Just about anybody who played hide-and-seek as a kid remembers counting, with eyes (presumably) covered, in units of one-one-thousand. “One-one-thousand. Two-one-thousand. Three-one-thousand.” It’s ...
