Fluids moving through pipes lose energy to friction along the walls. Collisions, defects, and random motion steadily break ...

Using advanced microscopy coupled with novel computer simulations to track atomic movement, researchers conducted real-time atomic-level observations of grain boundary deformation in poly-grained ...

Phonons are the collective vibrations that move through a solid. They can be thought of as waves traveling across the atomic ...

An experimental setup built at the Technion Faculty of Physics demonstrates the transfer of atoms from one place to another through quantum tunneling between optical tweezers. Led by Prof. Yoav Sagi ...

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 ...

Adatoms are single atoms that get adsorbed onto the surface of a solid material and are known to hop randomly from one spot to another. In a recent study published in Nature Communications, a group of ...

A model of iron atoms on the move in Earth's inner core. The model demonstrates how iron atoms are expected to move about in the Earth’s inner core over 10 picoseconds.. One picosecond is one ...

Theoretical modelling explores the movement of atoms within a liquid nanodroplet of platinum that is confined inside a defect in a carbon support. The colours represent the mobility of the atoms: ...

A team of physicists has created a video using just 2,024 rubidium atoms, showcasing a major advance in manipulating matter at the quantum level. It has been described as “the world’s smallest cat ...

IBM has figured out how much force it takes to move atoms. Next, it will try to build things with those atoms. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where he covers hardware, research ...
