Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This process, called skeletal editing, can dramatically speed up drug discovery ...

For two decades, physicists have predicted the existence of a remarkable family of exotic molecules: giant atoms bound to ...

This image depicts the radium atom’s pear-shaped nucleus of protons and neutrons in the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons (yellow), and an electron (yellow ball with arrow) that has a ...

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 ...
