Control of heat transport in nanostructures is of central importance for numerous modern technologies—from high-performance ...

Swapping a single atom can fine-tune the thermal conductance of single-molecule junctions without affecting their electrical ...

Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This process, called skeletal editing, can dramatically speed up drug discovery ...

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 ...

Ming Joo Koh and his team at the National University of Singapore have expanded their skeletal editing efforts to include ...

This image depicts the radium atom’s pear-shaped nucleus of protons and neutrons in the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons (yellow), and an electron (yellow ball with arrow) that has a ...

Cold ion-atom interactions represent a rapidly evolving field that merges atomic physics, quantum chemistry and many-body dynamics. In ultracold environments, ions and neutral atoms engage in ...

The ability to produce cold and ultracold molecules has opened new avenues to probe fundamental physics, develop novel technologies and understand quantum chemical phenomena. Through precise ...

Traditional catalysts often waste material because only surface atoms participate in reactions, while the bulk material goes untouched. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) overcome this inefficiency by ...
