“Fast atoms have advantages for detecting gravitational waves compared to cold-atom experiments and might give rise to new multi-dimensional interferometers.” Darren lives in ...

Photo: Niels Bohr's research notes for his new atomic theory Rutherford's find came from a very strange experience. Everyone at that time imagined the atom as a "plum pudding." That is ...

An experiment more than 10 years in the making ... What we regard as the nucleus of an atom is a beehive of even smaller particles called quarks struggling against a sticky exchange of gluons.

The tale of splitting the atom isn't just about America—it's a journey from New Zealand to Manchester, led by the brilliant ...

Now, researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have brought a twist to the famous Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment, using a heavy atom and ... s spin structure creates a ...

The nucleus is very small compared to the atom as a whole: as electrons are even smaller, most of an atom is empty space the diameter of a nucleus can be 100,000 times less than the diameter of an ...

In µSR spectroscopy, a unique particle called muonium (Mu) is formed when a muon captures an electron. This muonium reacts with the phosphorus compound, creating a highly reactive radical at the ...

called density functional theory, and EXAFS. The first version of the software, QuantEXAFS, determined the structure for one kind of atom, platinum atoms in this case. In reality, catalysts ...
