Everything in the universe has a lifespan—but what about atoms? This video explores the science of matter's smallest pieces ...

New research suggests that most of the atoms within the human body likely spent part of their lives drifting beyond the Milky ...

Researchers at the University of Basel have shown that quantum systems can have antagonistic interactions, too—one agent ...

Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a new thermometer using atoms boosted to such high energy levels that they are a thousand times larger than normal.

For the first time, atoms of the metal indium have been chilled to temperatures a few millionths of a degree above absolute zero, a state where strange quantum phenomena begin to appear ...

However, in 2011, scientists discovered that some atoms, including oxygen, iron and other heavier elements, can be expelled from their host galaxy by supernovae and get caught up in giant cosmic ...

Scientists based in Manchester, not the US, made the "key breakthrough" in splitting the atom, despite Donald Trump's claims ...

Scientists have demonstrated that atoms can exhibit wave-like behavior, challenging long-held assumptions that experiments of this nature were impossible and opening new doors in quantum physics.
