Almost everything on Earth is made up of atoms, but where do these fundamental building blocks come from?

What is an isotope? All matter is made of atoms, which in turn are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. The number of protons is what gives atoms their chemical properties, setting apart the ...

Only 0.72% of it is uranium-235 with 92 protons and 143 neutrons (the remaining 0.01% are other isotopes). For nuclear power reactors or weapons, we need to change the isotope proportions.

Atoms have equal numbers of protons and electrons. Uranium has 92 protons, for example, while carbon has six. However, the same element can have different numbers of neutrons, forming versions of ...

The film discusses the dual nature of atomic energy, likening it to the sun, which can both sustain and destroy life. It explains the structure of atoms and the process of nuclear fission, leading ...

At the bottom of the chart are the fundamental particles—quarks, bosons (eg Higgs, w +, w -, z), protons, neutrons, electrons and neutrinos.

Atoms of different elements have different numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons. For example, a hydrogen atom has one proton, one electron and zero neutrons, while uranium has 92 protons, 92 ...

Scientists have a new way to use data from high-energy particle smashups to peer inside protons. Their approach uses quantum information science to map out how particle tracks streaming from ...

Two physicists discovered special properties of stable atoms with 'magic numbers' of protons and neutrons 75 years ago by Artemis Spyrou and Sean Liddick, The Conversation ...

All the oxygen in your body is thanks to magic numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
