Antimatter is a fascinating kind of matter made up of antiparticles, which have a mass equivalent to that of their normal ...

“Fast atoms have advantages for detecting gravitational waves compared to cold-atom experiments and might give rise to new multi-dimensional interferometers.” Darren lives in ...

When U.S. President Donald Trump claimed during his inaugural address that Americans “split the atom,” a ripple of irritation spread across the globe. The statement, made to bolster the nation’s ...

Photo: Niels Bohr's research notes for his new atomic theory Rutherford's find came from a very strange experience. Everyone at that time imagined the atom as a "plum pudding." That is ...

The typical size of atoms and small molecules is around 1 × 10-10 m (0.1 nm). For example: diameter of a hydrogen atom, H 1.0 × 10-10 m width of a hydrogen molecule, H 2 2.9 × 10-10 m ...

Now, researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have brought a twist to the famous Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment, using a heavy atom and ... s spin structure creates a ...

While earlier experiments explored the atom and its structure, Rutherford and his colleagues manipulated the atom itself. In 1917, at the University of Manchester, he undertook a series of ...

Credited with splitting the nucleus of an atom during experiments at the U.K.'s Manchester University in 1917, Rutherford was "the first to artificially induce a nuclear reaction by bombarding ...
