At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables quantum ...

Clusters of up to 74 helium atoms about a single ion have been produced. Helium atoms can form clusters about a central single ion. These clusters have shell-like structures, and they are especially ...

Luckily, we don't have to count them one by one. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. All matter in the universe — no matter how big, ...

Photo: Niels Bohr's research notes for his new atomic theory Rutherford's find came from a very strange experience. Everyone at that time imagined the atom as a "plum pudding." That is, it was roughly ...

Some atoms are stable, while others seem to fall apart. Lead-208 will probably last forever, while the synthetic isotope technetium-99 exists for just hours. The difference lies in the structure of ...

For the first time, researchers have made niobium sulfide metallic nanotubes with stable, predictable properties, a ...
