Chemistry depends on heat. Atoms or molecules bounce around randomly, collide, and form other molecules. At higher temperatures, atoms collide more and the rate at which atoms become molecules ...

Near absolute zero, atoms stop acting like particles and start behaving like waves. In this ultracold world, scientists can ...

More than two decades ago, scientists predicted that at ultra-low temperatures, many atoms could undergo 'quantum superchemistry' and chemically react as one. They've finally shown it's real. When you ...
