For good reason--the modern theory of atoms is rooted in physical and mathematical ideas that wouldn't be developed until a couple thousand years after Democritus and company.

Wrong! One of the strangest things modern atomic theory has shown us is that what we commonly take to be the world of solid objects is for the most part empty space. That's right.

Modern physics, and particularly the quantum theory — the discovery of Max Planck, the centennial of whose birth was celebrated last year —has raised a series of very general questions ...

Entangled Atomic Clock Experiment Could Finally Provide Hints At A Theory Of Everything One of the biggest challenges in modern physics is uniting quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Albert Einstein and his equation E=mc² are famously connected to the modern atomic age. But as nuclear historian Alex Wellerstein writes in this counterfactual account of history, the great ...

Even for a modern marvel, GPS can still be a headache to deal with. A new invention, though, might be able to fix that by shrinking down the atomic clocks used on the GPS satellites to a portable ...

In a striking display of quantum physics, a team of researchers has recreated one of science’s most legendary ...

THE theory of solids is a title which might include many branches of science which are not treated in this book; for example, elasticity, plasticity and the mechanics of rigid bodies. Its subject ...
