Atomic and molecular physics addresses the structure and interactions of atoms and molecules, uniting quantum theory with experimental observation to explain phenomena from spectral lines to collision ...

Ion-atom collision dynamics explores the fundamental interactions that occur when charged particles impact neutral atoms, leading to processes such as elastic scattering, excitation, ionisation and ...

An international team of scientists is the first to report incredibly small time delays in a molecule's electron activity when the particles are exposed to X-rays. To measure these tiny high-speed ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has long been a cornerstone of modern medicine, providing highly detailed images of internal organs and tissues. MRI machines, those large, tube-shaped magnets ...

Highly efficient controlling the individual atomic migration is the basis of the modern atomic manufacturing. Although one-by-one atom migration can be realized precisely by STM technique, such a ...

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, ...
