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 ...

In the first moments of our universe, countless numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons formed alongside their antimatter counterparts. As the universe expanded and cooled, almost all these matter ...

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 ...

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 ...

"Electrons will collide with protons or larger atomic nuclei at the Electron-Ion Collider to produce dynamic 3-D snapshots of the building blocks of all visible matter," according to the U.S.

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 ...

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 ...
