Molecules are so small that we cannot even see them with ordinary microscopes. This makes studying molecules or chemical reactions difficult: researchers are limited to either indirect observations or ...

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 well-known model in condensed matter physics has now been applied to ultracold atoms in an optical lattice. Ultracold atoms stored in optical lattices are a highly controllable way to study systems ...
