On the outside, the cluster made of 55 copper and aluminum atoms looks like a crystal, but chemically it has the properties of an atom. The heterometallic superatom which chemists have created ...

Two countries to the west, a thumbnail-sized glass cell in Basel does a similar trick with warm-rubidium vapour. Together, ...

Dr. Weiman and Dr. Cornell created the superatom on June 5, and their report is being published today in the journal Science. The existence of this exotic form of matter was predicted in 1924 by ...

Physicists describe a Bose-Einstein condensate as a kind of superatom. Because atoms behave as waves as well as particles in a dilute, ultracold gas, they overlap and merge into a single entity ...

To the states of matter you learned in school-solid, liquid and gas-add another: A frozen gas that exists nowhere in the universe except a Colorado lab where scientists are making it. By freezing a… ...

Now a team led by Xavier Roy at Columbia University, New York, has taken the concept one step further by constructing pairs or trios of superatoms – the simplest kind of superatom molecule possible.

RICHMOND, Va., June 17 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists have discovered a "magnetic superatom" that might one day be used to create molecular electronic devices for future computers.

Posted: Jan 13, 2015: Physicists create superatom (Nanowerk News) The motto “United we are strong“ is also valid in the quantum world.Under appropriate conditions, a cloud of several hundred atoms can ...
