The theory was developed by Neils Bohr's great-grandson. The use of a special type of atom could make even the most advanced atomic clocks more precise, scientists believe. If confirmed, this ...

Long before the rise of modern science, ancient Indian sages, mathematicians, physicians, and philosophers were making groundbreaking discoveries in astronomy, mathematics, medicine, atomic theory ...

Scientists from MIT have developed what they believe is the most accurate atomic clock ever constructed. The clock, which utilizes quantum entanglement of atoms and … ...

And yet, oddly enough, as Sir Henry Roscoe and Dr. Harden have shown in their “New View of Dalton's Atomic Theory” the evidence is dead against the accuracy of these plausible statements.

Scientists have found a modern solution to all the complications of relativity for timekeeping on Earth: To account for imperceptible differences, they have set up a few hundred atomic clocks at ...

For a thousand years alchemists dreamed of transmuting mercury into gold. They never succeeded. Modern atomic physicists might do the trick without a philosopher's stone, but do not think the ...

Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider — the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator — have observed a real-life transmutation of lead into gold.

The Herculaneum resident, killed by the volcanic eruption in 79 CE, presents the only known vitrified brain on Earth. Now, researchers have a theory for how it happened.
