An atom consists of a heavy center, called the nucleus, made of particles called protons and neutrons. An atom has lighter ...

Most of the universe’s hydrogen and helium atoms formed around 400,000 years after the Big Bang, which is the name for when scientists think the universe began, about 14 billion years ago.

This deep view of the Orion Constellation glows in reddish hues thanks to a filtered view of hydrogen alpha emission, a type ...

Antognini has experience in measuring muonic atoms. A few years ago, he carried out the same experiment with muonic hydrogen, which contains only one proton in the nucleus and whose one electron ...

As you look at your fingers on the computer keyboard, every atom inside them that is not hydrogen or helium was once inside a star and is now on loan to you from the great library of atoms in the ...

London-listed junior Sound Energy and subsurface specialist Getech have joined forces to establish a company to hunt for ...

A mysterious second flavor of hydrogen atoms — one that doesn't interact with light — may exist, a new theoretical study proposes, and it could account for much of the universe's missing ...

Helium is inert - it does not react with other substances or combust - and its atomic number is 2, making it the second lightest element after hydrogen. Rockets need to achieve specific speeds and ...
