The film discusses the dual nature of atomic energy, likening it to the sun, which can both sustain and destroy life. It explains the structure of atoms and the process of nuclear fission, leading to ...

If you hit an atom’s nucleus hard enough, it will fall apart. But exactly how it falls apart tells us something about the internal structure of the nucleus and perhaps about the interior of neutron ...

This lesson utilizes an adaptation of the board game Subatomic: An Atom Building Game to help students learn about the different parts that make up an atom. During their turn, players can choose to ...

According to the classical model of nuclear structure, the internal structure of nucleons should not change if they are bound into atomic nuclei. But it was discovered 35 years ago that quarks inside ...

Protons in neutron-rich nuclei have a higher average energy than previously thought, according to a new analysis of electron scattering data that was first collected in 2004. The research appears to ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you want to probe the frontiers of fundamental physics, you have to ...

According to the Big Bang theory, normal matter composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons should account for roughly 5% of ...

THIS book is a revised and enlarged edition of Prof. Millikan‘s book "Electrons" which appeared in 1935, and was itself based on his celebrated work "The Electron" (1917), which in its day occupied a ...

For the first time, researchers have reported a 3D metal-organic framework (MOF) that can conduct both electrons and protons (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2024, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c13792). Materials mixing ...
