Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions—oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons—circulated through the twin 2.4-mile-circumference rings of the Relativistic Heavy Ion ...

Atoms measure roughly 0.1 nanometers across, a scale so small that scientists spent more than six decades developing ...

A biomimetic synapse built from water droplets and biological ion channels achieves synaptic plasticity and performs machine learning tasks.

Cations are ions that are positively charged. Anions are ions that are negatively charged. Ions are charged atoms or molecules. If a balanced atom loses one or more electrons, it will become a ...

It has been revealed that simply twisting and stacking two layers of oxide crystals can allow the atomic arrangement itself to control the behavior of electrons. Much like the new patterns that emerge ...

Dot and cross diagrams help us to model when ions are formed from atoms. Here’s an example using sodium and chlorine. They form ions which bond to form sodium chloride. 2. Work out how many electrons ...

A new study reveals how intertwined forms of frustration in quantum materials can give rise to unconventional magnetic states.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists have trapped a single plutonium atom inside a tiny molecular cage, using only six micrograms of the radioactive metal. The work turns an element ...

The registrations for NEET 2026 have commenced. In order to appear for the MBBS entrance test, the candidates need to be well aware of the syllabus for the test. The National ...

Researchers at Oregon State University have reported an iron-based nanomaterial that exploits the biochemical environment of ...

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that self-assembled phosphorus chains can host genuinely one-dimensional electron ...
