Atoms are the building blocks of all matter, from the air we breathe to every cell in our bodies. Yet despite their presence everywhere, no one has truly seen an atom with the naked eye ,until ...

For nearly a century, scientists around the world have been searching for dark matter—an invisible substance believed to make ...

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons. It would seem, therefore, that it should not be difficult to ...

Keeping time with an atomic nucleus Date: May 25, 2023 Source: Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München Summary: Nuclear clocks could allow scientists to probe the fundamental forces of the ...

Solving this for an atomic nucleus therefore provides a cloud of probability for all of the possible places it could be, which, taken together, give the nuclear shape. RELATED MYSTERIES.

Some history on models of the atomic nucleus Credit: C&EN I read with great interest the article by Katherine Bourzac “Divining the Mysteries of the Atomic Nucleus” in the Jan. 29, 2024, issue ...

Apr 29, 2024: Atomic nucleus excited with laser: a breakthrough after decades (Nanowerk News) Physicists have been hoping for this moment for a long time: for many years, scientists all around the ...

Dec. 18, 2024 — Atomic clocks that excite the nucleus of thorium-229 embedded in a transparent crystal when hit by a laser beam could yield the most accurate measurements ever of time and ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) I used to think that atomic nuclei are basically little balls, but this paper which just appeared found one that's the shape of a dumbbell.And it's not even a highly unstable ...

Atomic clocks measure time so precisely that they gain or lose less than a second every 30 billion years. With so-called nuclear clocks, it would be possible to measure time even more accurately.
