Atoms provides an advanced forum for studies related to atomic physics, including all of their subfields. Different formats, such as specialized research articles, reviews, communications, and technical notes, are welcome. Manuscripts containing original and creative research proposals and ideas are especially appreciated.

We encourage scientists to publish their research results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the paper length, and full experimental and methodological details, as applicable, should be provided. All papers will be peer reviewed promptly.
