Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...
In simple terms, that assertion is correct, but for those with an expertise in the field, the longer answer to who did it ...
British philosopher Bertrand Russell said of the difference between our physical world experience and the scientific world of continually changing matter, “There is … some conflict between what common ...
The periodic table organizes chemical elements based on atomic weight, electron configurations, and chemical properties, ...
In µSR spectroscopy, a unique particle called muonium (Mu) is formed when a muon captures an electron. This muonium reacts with the phosphorus compound, creating a highly reactive radical at the ...
In recent years, there have been attempts to describe the inside of a proton using quantum information tools, with partial ...
A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed ...
Phase transitions, shifts between different states of matter, are widely explored physical phenomena. So far, these ...
A physicist explains how atoms arrange themselves into molecules – and how scientists are able to image these tiny bits of ...
By twisting layers of graphene, researchers discovered a unique electronic crystal where electrons freeze in place yet allow ...
Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...
Yup. Not that it’s likely to see the light of day (or will you prove us wrong, Proton?), but that hasn’t stopped rendering guru Theophilus Chin from imagining (or should we say re-imagining ...
