Since atoms are smaller than the wavelength of visible light, we can’t see them directly—but they still interact with light in ways that create color. Discover how atomic structure influences the ...

Professor Claudia Ratti explains about quarks and gluons, including the so-called Quark-Gluon Plasma, plus Quantum ...

Einsteinium-255, produced through irradiation in ILL’s high-flux reactor, provided a continuous supply of fermium-255, ...

The Invincible season 3 finale finally gives viewers a full taste of Atom Eve's powers, building on the events of the ...

no one could arrive at a model that achieved atomic stability and explained features such as the distinct, discrete spectral lines of light emitted by atoms of different elements. Shortly after ...

As physicists came closer to understanding the nature of the atom in the 1930s, it became increasingly clear that a great deal of energy could be released by splitting atoms. In 1939, Albert Einstein ...

Laser light nudges ultracold rubidium atoms, triggering atomic collisions and revealing surprising quantum effects and energy ...

Vanishing atoms can ruin quantum calculations. Scientists have a new plan to locate leaks. Quantum computers face a major ...

The visible universe—including Earth, the sun, other stars, and galaxies—is made of protons, neutrons, and electrons bundled together into atoms ... of light could be explained if the light ...

When they die, the carbon-14 starts to change into other atoms over time. Scientists can estimate how long the organism has been dead by counting the remaining carbon-14 atoms. The technique was ...
