Almost anytime physicists announce that they’ve discovered a new particle, whether it’s the Higgs boson or the recently bagged double-charm tetraquark, what they’ve actually spotted is a small bump rising from an otherwise smooth curve on a plot.
MIT physicists have discovered a resonance in colliding ultracold molecules. The findings shed light on the forces that drive molecules to chemically react and suggest scientists could one day harness particles' natural resonances to steer and control ...
Combined STM and MRI techniques resolve single atoms on a surface, providing potential for imaging larger molecules. Credit: Philip Willke et al. One of the quantum properties used to characterize protons, neutrons and electrons is their spin, which is ...
