In a world first, researchers have recorded exactly how solvents interact with dissolved materials, one atom at a time. After a solute, such as salt, dissolves in a solvent, such as water, the two ...

For the first time, researchers from the PRISMA + Cluster of Excellence have determined the charge radius of helium-3 and thus also the exact difference to the radius of helium-4. This precision ...

There’s no such thing as a complete vacuum. Even in the cosmic void between galaxies, there’s an estimated density of about one hydrogen or helium atom per cubic meter. But these estimates are largely ...
