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 ...

Scientists at the University of Leicester have captured the first detailed "molecular movie" showing DNA being unzipped at the atomic level – revealing how cells begin the crucial process of copying ...

Cadmium-based nanostructures are opening new possibilities in near-infrared (NIR) technology, from medical imaging to fiber ...

A solid-state nuclear clock has a great potential to become a robust and portable timing device that is highly precise.

Researchers have taken atomic diffraction to a new level, revealing surprising behaviors in high-energy helium and hydrogen ...

Zeolites, crystalline materials widely used in the petrochemical industry, serve as pivotal catalysts in the production of ...

Two experiment collaborations, the g2p and EG4 collaborations, combined their complementary data on the proton's inner structure to improve calculations of a phenomenon in atomic physics known as the ...

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 ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Recently, they supported another step in that direction by providing an Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) grant to Phillip Ansell of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to develop a ...

The discovery suggests that atomic nuclei may be more complex than we thought ... "Thus, even as a cornerstone of the nuclear landscape, 208 Pb remains a puzzle for nuclear structure theories." Doubly ...
