The stuff you scrape off burnt toast is made primarily of atoms of carbon. But what makes up a carbon atom—or any other atom? The first subatomic particle to be identified was the electron, in 1898.

In a quiet lab at Argonne National Laboratory, Saw-Wai Hla and his team were huddled around their instruments late one night ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a new method for enhancing quantum information systems by integrating ...

KAIST researchers have developed a groundbreaking single-atom editing technology using light-powered "molecular scissors" to ...

The atom is a complex system of particles ... Possibly the most profound modern discovery is the fact that the magic numbers change in exotic nuclei like the type we create here. So, 75 years after ...

Strong interactions between subatomic particles like electrons occur when they are at a specific energy level known as the ...

Chadwick's own research focused on radioactivity. In 1919 Rutherford had discovered the proton, a positively charged particle within the atom's nucleus. But they and other researchers were finding ...

John Dalton's concept of indivisibility of the atom is discarded by the discovery of various fundamental particles. An atom consists of three fundamental particles: Electron: A negatively charged ...

The centenary of the discovery of the quantum atom by Niels Bohr will be celebrated at the University with an event organised by the Institute of Physics today (Saturday). The Danish physicist and ...
