Tsukuba, Japan—The shapes of simple polyatomic molecules such as carbon dioxide and methane are characterized by a specific symmetry depending on the manner of linking of the atoms. Nano- to ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have built a generative AI model that ...

Laser cooling has emerged as a transformative methodology for controlling the motion of atoms and molecules, utilising the momentum of light to reduce thermal motion at ultra‐low temperatures. This ...

Using intense X-rays, researchers captured a buckyball as it expanded, split and shed electrons under strong laser fields. Detailed scattering measurements showed how the molecule behaves at low, ...
