Scattering takes place across the universe at large and miniscule scales. Billiard balls clank off each other in bars, the nuclei of atoms collide to ...

Listen to the full series on BBC Sounds. Hans Geiger and Ernest Marsden tested the plum pudding model. They aimed beams of positively-charged particles at very thin gold foil. These particles ...

Niels Bohr adapted Ernest Rutherford's nuclear model. Bohr did calculations that led him to suggest that electrons orbit the nucleus in shells. The shells are at certain distances from the nucleus.

“Using cold atoms, it’s going to be easy to scale ... groundbreaking applications in fields ranging from cryptography to modelling complex systems. Ohmori’s team boasts a core competence ...

Atoms can combine in different numbers and in different ways to make different molecules. Atoms and molecules make up all of the different substances, including solids, liquids, and gases that are all ...

Students will also get a sense of the number of different objects that can be created from a small number of parts and will apply this to modeling atoms and molecules. An object made of small parts ...

Scientists have developed a simulation method incorporating quantum mechanics to model the electronic structure of nearly 13,000 atoms. This has enabled them to predict and characterize the ...
