The same is not true, however, for solutions to the Dirac equation, the relativistic equation describing the hydrogen atom. Solutions expressed in terms of Laguerre polynomials were found shortly ...

The end result is a very ‘crisp’ image of a hydrogen atom’s wave function magnified more than 20,000 times. Per the image release, in the image on the left, we see examples of four atomic ...

Vrakking says that the ultimate goal of the research was to study and visualize the hydrogen atom. Future experiments may look at how the atom would react within a magnetic field, study time-resolved ...
