Many atomic nuclei have a magnetic field similar to that of Earth. However, directly at the surface of a heavy nucleus such ...

The size of an atom is only a few angstroms at most - there are 10 billion angstroms in 1 meter. This video also goes the ...

Its essential feature-the nucleus-was first ... is known no longer as “the atomic model of Rutherford and Bohr,” but is simply taken for granted as “the atom.” In this development ...

The company’s ambitious new Sunbird design aims to harness nuclear fusion in space, despite the fact that commercializing ...

You, me, the countless stars across among the trillions of galaxies shouldn’t exist—at least, not according to the Standard ...

It seems possible that such a shell may persist as a definite structure at moderate excitation of the nucleus, the excitation energy being shared by the nucleons not contained in the closed shell.

Author Dava Sobel discusses how she discovered the many forgotten female scientists who were mentored by Marie Curie in early ...

“At low temperatures, models of reactivity must include the effects of the permanent electric dipoles and quadrupole moments of the molecules, the effect of their vibrational and rotational motion,” ...

Upgrades and new research at Argonne National Laboratory are helping physicists push boundaries, from basic science to the development of new technologies.

At that time, pure physics research concentrated on understanding the inside of the atom, hence the word "nuclear". Today, our understanding of matter goes much deeper than the nucleus, and CERN's ...
