I doubt that you'll be able to take pictures of hydrogen molecules with your digital camera anytime soon, but German researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics have done it. They've ...

Collisions have consequences. Everyone knows that. Whether it's between trains, planes, automobiles or atoms, there are always repercussions. But while macroscale collisions may have the most obvious ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg have visualised vibration and rotation in the nuclei of a hydrogen molecule as a quantum mechanical wave packet. What is more, ...

In the experiments a single photon has enough energy (75.5 electron volts) to knock both electrons out of a deuterium molecule, and the two nuclei then fly apart because they are both positively ...

LEXINGTON, Mass and London -- Concert Pharmaceuticals and GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK) announced today that they will collaborate to develop and commercialize deuterium-containing medicines. The deal ...

New research refines our understanding of the chemical traces that act as the rain's fingerprint. The work is crucial for understanding the Earth's water cycle, especially as it undergoes rapid change ...

Seconds after the Big Bang, the newborn universe gave rise to the first elements—ionized forms of hydrogen and helium. These particles combined, forging helium hydride—the first ever molecule. It ...

The universe’s first molecule just surprised us again. In a discovery that could rewrite our understanding of how the first stars formed, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics ...
