Electrons can be "kicked across" solar materials at almost the fastest speed nature allows, scientists have discovered, ...

Atomic and molecular physics is a discipline at the heart of understanding matter at its most fundamental level. Over the past century, pioneering experiments and theoretical breakthroughs have ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered that molecular vibrations can act like a catapult, flinging ...

Researchers from the Department of Molecular Physics at the Fritz Haber Institute have demonstrated the first magneto-optical trap of a stable "closed-shell" molecule: aluminum monofluoride (AlF).

Quantum nano-mechanics. Quantum jumps in atomic physics. Continuous transitions between quantum states in quantum‒classical mechanics for molecular and chemical physics involve both chaotic (dozy ...

Quantum effects are fundamental in shaping the behaviour of molecular systems, from modifying reaction pathways to influencing physical properties. At the molecular scale, classical theories are often ...

World-leading atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physicist David DeMille is looking for new particles and forces that could answer fundamental questions about the universe and solve some of the ...
