University of Queensland researchers have made a breakthrough in muonic atom research, clearing the way for new nuclear ...

The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other.

When two hydrogen atoms get close enough, the electron from each atom feels an attraction from the proton in the other atom's nucleus. This attraction pulls the atoms together. The electrons end up ...

When this happens, an electron in the beryllium atom combines with a proton in its nucleus, producing a neutron. This transforms the beryllium atom into lithium, producing a kick of energy that ...

One leading explanation was that there were electrons and additional protons in the nucleus as well -- the ... and imagined it as a paired proton and electron. There was no evidence for any ...

Scientists at Yokohama National University, in collaboration with RIKEN and other institutions in Japan and Korea, have made ...

The AMoRE experimental collaboration in South Korea has reported not finding evidence of neutrinoless double beta decay after ...

Now researchers have suggested a new method to make visualizing electron motion a reality. Electrons oscillate around the nucleus of an atom on extremely short timescales, typically completing a ...

Researchers at Technische Universitat Darmstadt, the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, and other institutes recently ...

The IAEA's NUCLEUS information resource portal provides access to over 100 scientific, technical and regulatory resources, including databases, applications, publications and training material. As it ...

Electrons oscillate around the nucleus of an atom on extremely short ... Because of their ultrafast motions, directly observing electron behavior in molecules has been challenging.
