For almost a century, measurements have indicated that a significant proportion of matter in the universe consists of unknown ...

When world-leading teams join forces, new findings are bound to be made. This is what happened when quantum physicists from ...

An international team of physicists has successfully measured the size of a certain type of neutrino to a certain degree. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the group describes ...

Our estimates of the size of a neutrino span from smaller than an atomic nucleus to as large as a few metres, but now we are ...

or when atomic resolution is discussed. The power of this technique is that it is possible to determine local physical properties directly from measurements of shifts of the individual atom positions.

Our physics expert picks his top-five equations, plus a scheme to supply US power needs with a bucket of baseballs. Thanks, ...

February 7 is National Periodic Table Day, when we celebrate the efforts of scientists over the centuries to figure out how different elements ...

The international team also used the data to get direct information about the deformation of the atomic nucleus in ytterbium ...

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays - without the need for artificially ...

Muon spin rotation (µSR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique used to study the behavior of materials at the atomic level. In this study, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo employed µSR ...

This video is an interactive lesson in calculating an atom’s mass and atomic number. Atoms consist of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in shells. The numbers of ...
