Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (commonly referred to AMO Physics) is the study of the interaction between light and matter. Physicists study this interaction on various scales, from the atomic ...

What makes some plastics stick to metal without any glue? Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have peered into the ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...

Highly efficient controlling the individual atomic migration is the basis of the modern atomic manufacturing. Although one-by-one atom migration can be realized precisely by STM technique, such a ...

Scientists used molecular simulations to reveal how polymer chains adhere to alumina surfaces. Adhesion depends on both polymer chemistry and surface termination, with different responses before and ...

Atomic clocks based on stimulated resonance of cesium 133 or rubidium atoms are the most accurate clocks in relatively widespread use (there’s one in each GPS satellite), but they’re costly and ...

For decades, scientists have known that motor proteins like kinesin-2 ferry vital cargo along microtubule "highways" inside cells.

Atomic emission spectrometry (AES) remains at the forefront of analytical techniques for qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis across environmental, biological and industrial contexts. The ...

The Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published semi-monthly by IOP Publishing. It was established in 1968 from the division of the ...
