I keep coming back to a strange idea: what if everything we know about quantum physics is already encoded inside a single atom? Not in a mystical sense, but in the very real way that one tiny system ...

The shapes of atomic orbitals also affect the spectroscopic properties of atoms and molecules. The absorption and emission of ...

This discrepancy highlights the need for hybridization. Hybridization postulates that atomic orbitals mix to form new, ...

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

The quantum world is famously weird—a single particle can be in two places at once, its properties are undefined until they ...

At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables quantum ...

In this video, we explore fundamental concepts about the atom and the forces that govern it. **CHAPTERS** 0:00 - Why is the ...

Researchers are working to move cold atom quantum experiments and applications from the laboratory tabletop to chip-based systems. UC Santa Barbara researchers are working to move cold atom quantum ...

This study investigates the folding and unfolding behavior of the doubly knotted protein TrmD-Tm1570, providing insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying protein knotting. The findings reveal ...

Efforts to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2 may benefit from a new analytical tool developed by a team led by biologists at Boston College, who report their computer simulation of molecular ...
