A unique fusion of science and performance is taking the stage in Billings. The Atomic Circus combines chemistry experiments, live music and student choreography into a theatrical ...

A new computational method allows modern atomic models to learn from experimental thermodynamic data, according to a ...

James is a published author with multiple pop-history and science books to his name. He specializes in history, space, strange science, and anything out of the ordinary.View full profile James is a ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons. It would seem, therefore, that it should not be difficult to reproduce ...

Scientists have demonstrated that atoms can exhibit wave-like behavior, challenging long-held assumptions that experiments of this nature were impossible and opening new doors in quantum physics. The ...

Professor Daniel Blumenthal's lab develops chip-scale components that can bring the power and precision of quantum science outside of the tightly controlled environment of the lab. (Santa Barbara, ...

Yuri Ralchenko led one of the oldest teams at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The fate of some experiments hangs in the air. Lost Science Yuri Ralchenko led one of the oldest teams ...

The results are an important stress test for theories and future experiments in atomic physics. 1.97007 femtometre (quadrillionths of a metre): That’s how unimaginably tiny the radius of the atomic ...

For two centuries, students have learned that heat flows and engines work according to rigid limits that no machine can beat. Now a series of experiments at atomic and electronic scales is revealing ...
