When we think of ions, we usually think of single atoms that have lost or gained some electrons, but entire molecules can also become ions. Physicists now show that cold molecular ions can be created ...

Chemical reaction: the magneto-optical trap used to study hypermetallic alkaline earth oxides A magneto-optical trap has been used by physicists in the US to study how ions and atoms interact to ...

The scientists could observe spatially resolved the molecule with the help of a self-build ion microscope. When single particles like atoms and ions bond, molecules emerge. Such bonds between to ...

“In 1990, Don Eigler of IBM’s Almaden Research Center showed that, using an STM, atoms can be placed on top of a surface with atomic precision,” says Jascha Repp of IBM. “Now the next step has been ...

Researchers from Hanns-Christoph Nägerl's group have produced the world's first ultracold KCs molecules in their absolute ...

For his presidential address before the Royal Meteorological Society, on February 15, Prof. S. Chapman took as his subject, “Atoms, Molecules and the Atmosphere”. While the molecular constitution of ...
