University of Queensland scientists have cracked a long-standing puzzle in nuclear physics, showing that nuclear polarization ...

The two collaborations combined their complementary data on the proton's inner structure to improve calculations of a phenomenon in atomic physics: the hyperfine splitting of hydrogen. An atom of ...

An atom is so small that a single drop of water contains more than a billion atoms. Although tiny, atoms are mostly empty space. The simplified model of the atom is that of a cloud of negative ...

Current limitations in spatial and temporal resolution restrict our understanding of atomic-level microscopic ... of the transient structure of bimetallic single-atom catalysts during catalytic ...

To be awarded an official English Heritage plaque, the proposed recipient (nominated by members of the public) must have died ...

Left off publications due to Nazi prejudice, this Jewish woman lost her rightful place in the scientific pantheon as the ...

I began graduate study in 1975, the midpoint of the first 100 years of quantum mechanics, 50 years ago and 50 years after the ...

Atomic structure - AQA Atoms consist of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in shells. The numbers of subatomic particles in an atom can be calculated from its ...
