Empa researchers have experimentally recreated a fundamental theoretical model from quantum physics, originally proposed by Nobel Prize winner Werner Heisenberg. The experiment was based on "quantum ...

For the homogeneous Heisenberg chain, the researchers used the nanographene molecule Olympicen, which consists of five carbon rings. In 2024, Empa researchers and their partners successfully for the ...

In a startling new observation, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected a planet with an atmosphere made almost ...

Korean scientists present a copper-free motor that uses carbon nanotube wires, promising lighter and greener energy.

Carbon is everywhere. It’s in the atmosphere, in the oceans, in the soil, in our food, in our bodies. As the backbone of all organic molecules that make up life, carbon is a very accurate predictor of ...

You may have noticed that the rock formations are very different colors. The rock formations on the left are from Red Rock State Park in Texas, and on the right is El Capitan Mountain in Yosemite ...

People have always looked for patterns to explain the universe and to predict the future. “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning” is an adage predicting the weather.

They're important to scientists because they're the chemical precursors to the molecules that build life, such as amino acids ...

When atoms or molecules collide, scientists expect them to bounce off one another like balls on a pool table. Not so when two carbon monoxide molecules meet in just the right way: they square dance ...
