In school, you probably learned that an atom was like a little solar system with the nucleus as the sun and electrons as the planets. The problem is, as [The Action Lab] points out, the math tells ...

Under the right circumstances, electrons can actually “freeze” into a bizarre solid form. Now, physicists at Berkeley Lab ...

Again, this is absolutely minuscule compared to the energy from the monopole interaction, but if you use the monopole interaction to stick an electron to an atom or molecule so it can't simply ...

Researchers from Madrid explain a phenomenon that allows the direction of light emission to be controlled at the atomic scale ...

When two hydrogen atoms get close enough, the electron from each atom feels an attraction from the proton in the other atom's nucleus. This attraction pulls the atoms together. The electrons end up ...

Nothing can go faster than the speed of light according to the principles of the Vortex Theory of Atomic Particles. The basis ...

Scientists have managed to analyze ulrafast processes which up until now were considered to be 'instantaneous': When a laser pulse hits an atom with two electrons, one electron may be ripped out ...

In the past, such events were regarded as 'momentary' or 'instantaneous': An electron orbits the nucleus of an atom—in the next moment it is suddenly ripped out by a flash of light. Two ...

Scientists have set up and observed a single electron bond between two carbon molecules. A traditional “single bond” is actually two electrons—one from each atom. This is one electron. The fragile ...

For instance, there is a weak connection between the nucleus and the orbiting electrons of an atom called the hyperfine ...

Nothing can go faster than the speed of light according to the principles of the Vortex Theory of Atomic Particles. The basis of lightspeed is the speed of the vortex of flowing space between every ...

The reaction releases a lot of heat as the ionic compound sodium chloride is formed. A sodium and chlorine atom are near each other. An electron from each atom feels the attraction from the other atom ...
