And unlike atoms, molecules can store energy within the vibrations of atomic bonds and rotations, or spinning, of their entire structure. (scientificamerican.com)
«We can now play with atomic bonds and see how we can use them to influence the manipulation of matter on the nanometric scale,» Dr Wolff said. (sciencedaily.com)
One of the most recently developed methods is to probe a material with ultra fast x-ray pulses — a technique that reveals how atomic bonds change over a very short time scale. (sciencemag.org)
