Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing ...

Most of the universe is made up of hydrogen and helium atoms, which came into being after the Big Bang cooled down a little. Heavier atoms are formed during high-energy collisions in stars.

Continued helium use in gas chromatography–mass spectrometry/flame ionization detection has proven problematic. To combat ...

This detailed image of a famous supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus is the hauntingly beautiful swan song for a massive star.

Scientists discover new electronic states in graphene that could pave the way for more efficient, error-free quantum computers.

TAU Systems, the developer of next-generation ultrafast laser-plasma accelerators, today announced the collaboration with ...

A school gym-sized facility tucked away at the University of Michigan is quietly pushing the boundaries of what lasers can do ...

Gas chromatography market was valued at US$ 3.35 billion in 2024 and is projected to hit the market valuation of US$ 5.97 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 7.10% during the forecast period 2025–2033. A ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When high-energy light hits atoms, it knocks electrons loose.

Now, most of the atoms in the universe are the two simplest kinds: hydrogen, which has one proton, zero neutrons and one electron; and helium, which has two protons, two neutrons and two electrons. Of ...

How do more massive atoms form? So, the hydrogen and helium atoms formed during recombination, when the cooler temperature allowed electrons to fall into orbits.
