A force that couples electrons and neutrons could be an addition to the Standard Model, and a new study places an upper limit ...

Researchers have discovered eight new rare isotopes of the elements phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, scandium and, most importantly, calcium ... heart of an atom, protons and ...

Through experimentation at RIKEN's Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory in Japan, scientists synthesized new sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, scandium and calcium ... neutrons an atom has, the ...

step 1. the team traps a single atom in a cone of electromagnetic energy from which the atom cannot escape. You can think of this cone as essentially a tightly-fit engine housing. For this experiment ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their ...

An incredible new engine is powered by just a single calcium atom, and by being so small it can run more efficiently than scientists had previously believed possible. Share on Facebook (opens in a ...

It seems engineering things the size of atoms is all the rage these days, as a team of Swiss researchers announces it has found a way of creating a functioning engine using a single calcium atom.

What they ended up with was an eight millimeter-long and four-millimeter-in-diameter ion trap with gold plates and electrodes that sequestered the lone calcium atom (but any charged atom could do ...

Now researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have discovered that a single atom - a calcium, in fact - can control how bacteria walk. By resolving the structure of a protein ...
