New research indicates that single atoms could be transformed into engines or refrigeration, with an application in fuel cells that could be the backbone of a green energy revolution. As the quest to ...

Electronics keep shrinking, but silicon is starting to run into physical limits. To go smaller, researchers are turning to ...

Researchers demonstrated a new optical atomic clock that uses a single laser and doesn't require cryogenic temperatures. By greatly reducing the size and complexity of atomic clocks without ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

Researchers have used a technique similar to MRI to follow the movement of individual atoms in real time as they cluster together to form two-dimensional materials, which are a single atomic layer ...

Invented 30 years ago, the atomic force microscope has been a major driver of nanotechnology, ranging from atomic-scale imaging to its latest applications in manipulating individual molecules, ...
