Heavy polar molecules are some of the most sensitive tools physicists have for probing what lies beyond the Standard Model, the theory that describes the particles and forces we know about. But ...
Our body contains an intricate system of tiny vessels through which blood, water and other molecules flow. When the size of the pipes shrinks to the nanoscale, where only a few molecules can fit side ...

The one-dimensional confinement of molecules in an optical cavity allows researchers to measure a narrow absorption line without the blurring effects of molecular motion. High-precision molecular ...
Certain molecules can be placed into states that are less sensitive to external noise, offering researchers a quiet system for probing fundamental physics. Molecules are like tiny sandboxes for ...
A new atomic force microscope captures the structures of individual molecules and their chemical bonds at record speeds. Atomic force microscopy has revolutionized molecular imaging by uncovering the ...
Quantum computers could one day simulate molecules with a level of detail beyond the reach of even their most powerful classical counterparts. But today’s quantum ...
Atomic and molecular physics addresses the structure and interactions of atoms and molecules, uniting quantum theory with experimental observation to explain phenomena from spectral lines to collision ...
