In a groundbreaking study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists from ETH Zurich, in collaboration with teams from ...

Physicists led by Johannes Roßnagel at the University of Mainz in Germany, the single atom engine is about as efficient as your car at transforming the changing temperature into mechanical energy.

An incredible new engine is powered by just a single calcium atom, and by being so small it can run more efficiently than scientists had previously believed possible.

Heaviest known calcium atom discovered Eight new rare isotopes discovered in total Date: July 12, 2018 Source: Michigan State University Facility for Rare Isotope Beams Summary: Researchers have ...

It's a pretty bizarre fact that while the single calcium-40 atom is many billion times smaller than your car engine's pistons, they follow the same basic steps.

The research team started the experiment with a calcium atom trapped in an ion trap. Using laser beams, the researchers wrote a quantum state onto the ion and simultaneously excited it to emit a ...

Two electrons are transferred from the calcium atom, one to each chlorine atom. Calcium becomes a +2 ion and each chlorine becomes a -1 ion. The +2 calcium ion and the two -1 chloride ions attract ...

The discovery that a single atom can control how bacteria move could lead to new drugs that prevent infection, scientists in North Carolina said.

What the scientists were hoping for was the rarest of rare events -- a precise collision between a calcium atom flying out of the accelerator and a berkelium atom spinning about on the target ...

As you can see, its calcium atom gets taken by the vinegar, turning it into calcium acetate, while the remaining atoms get split between water and carbon dioxide. Add a little alcohol, and light ...
