“It is trained to master the language of atoms,” said Ziheng Lu, principal researcher at Microsoft Research AI for Science in Shanghai. “Predicting the behavior of materials is critical to chemists.

All the elements in the Periodic Table are made from different atoms, and the structure of these ... What he envisaged was called the "Plum Pudding Model" with the electrons embedded like plums ...

So, since the 1990s, researchers have been assembling model crystals from extremely cold atoms… Receive a weekly dose of discovery in your inbox! We'll also keep you up to date with New ...

Cold atoms are atoms that have been cooled to very low temperatures, below 1 mK, reducing their motion to a very low energy ...

Bohr's 'solar system' model of the atom is the way that most people think about atoms today. When atoms absorb energy, the electrons at a particular level are pushed up to higher levels (at bigger ...

Atoms of the soft, silvery metal indium have been chilled to temperatures so cold that the particles can demonstrate strange quantum behaviour, such as forming new types of matter. Because indium ...

In the water molecule, the oxygen and hydrogen atoms share electrons in covalent bonds. There are a total of 10 protons and 10 electrons, so the water molecule is neutral. The electron cloud model ...

Two US-based research teams have developed quantum information processors that use neutral ytterbium (Yb) atoms as qubits – the first time this atomic species has been employed for this purpose.
