Unstable atoms emit fast-moving particles that can damage cells in the human body. Some atoms are far more unstable than ...

Changing interactions between the smallest particles at the touch of a button: Quantum researchers at RPTU have developed a new tool that makes this possible. The new approach—a temporally oscillating ...

An element's atomic number defines it. An element with 17 protons will always be chlorine. However an element's mass numbers can vary, which means that it can have different numbers of neutrons. So ...

Nobel laureates demonstrate quantum tunnelling in macroscopic systems, impacting quantum computing and highlighting the ...

Scientists found where the universe’s missing matter went. Black holes have been pushing it far away from galaxies.

Changing interactions between the smallest particles at the touch of a button: Quantum researchers at RPTU have developed a new tool that makes this possible. The new approach—a temporally oscillating ...

The race is on to harness the near-infinite power of nuclear fusion—by building a star on Earth. And scientists are closer ...

Scientists may have finally uncovered the mystery behind ultra-high-energy cosmic rays — the most powerful particles known in ...

For example, the atomic number of chlorine is 17. Every chlorine atom has 17 protons and 17 electrons. It has 17 positive charges and 17 negative charges, meaning that it is neutral overall. Atoms of ...

To answer Robertson: The Higgs field doesn’t appear to have more valleys to explore, according to our current understanding.

Mastermind viewers have taken to social media to blast a contestant for his 'disastrous' general knowledge round on Monday's ...

John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis discovered quantum physics on a macroscopic scale, paving the way for quantum ...
