Maximum Theoretical Limit of Energy Needed to Control Magnetization of Single Atom

An EPFL-led research collaboration has shown for the first time the maximum theoretical limit of energy needed to control the magnetization of a single atom. The fundamental work can have great implications for the future of magnetic research and technology.

Berkeley Lab’s Superheavy-Element Research Team Does Chemistry One Atom at a Time

It’s now more or less official: element 117 will have a seat at the periodic table. Earlier this month an international team of scientists that included researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab’s Nuclear Science Division found two atoms of superheavy element 117.

Water Molecules Caged in Fullerene Spheres Provide Deeper Insight into Spin Isomers

In a new paper in the Journal of Chemical Physics, produced by AIP Publishing, a research team in the United Kingdom and the United States describes how water molecules "caged" in fullerene spheres ("buckyballs") are providing a deeper insight into spin isomers -- varieties of a molecule that differ in their nuclear spin.

Theoretical Model of Environment's Influence on Particles Does Not Violate Third Law of Thermodynamics

A change of models demystifies anomalous particle behavior at very low temperatures, confirming that the third law of thermodynamics cannot be violated

Small-Angle Neutron Scattering and Neutron Spin-Echo Techniques used to Study Clustering of Antibodies

Scientists have used small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and neutron spin-echo (NSE) techniques for the first time to understand how monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), a class of targeted biopharmaceuticals used to treat autoimmune disorders and cancer, dynamically cluster and move in high concentration solutions.

Theoretical Physicists Discuss Evidence Supporting Fast Expansion of the Universe

For decades, theorists have speculated that in its very first moments, our universe underwent a mind-bogglingly fast expansion that took it from the diminutive size of a proton to a vast expanse. Earlier this year, scientists announced a stunning development: what may be the first “smoking gun” evidence in support of this theory.
