A surprising behaviour of atoms is giving scientists new insights into one of the most fundamental phenomena in nature: the absorption of light. A new physical phenomenon for light pulses has been discovered. The study, published in the prestigious journal Physical Review Letters, was conducted by physicists at Lund University. In the world of atoms, the laws of nature as we know them do not apply

Scientists have found an alternative way to produce atoms of the superheavy element livermorium. The new method opens up the possibility of creating another element that could be the heaviest in the world so far: number 120. The search for new elements comes from the dream of finding a variant that is sufficiently stable to be long-lived and not prone to immediate decay. There is a theory in nucle
