Carbon, essential for life, journeys through space in a galactic recycling process, fueling star and planet formation.

The carbon atoms in your body have likely traveled much farther than you have, possibly hundreds of thousands of light-years ...

From nearly indestructible metals, like tungsten, to delicate clouds in the sky, atoms make up everything around us. But do ...

Bohr turned to Planck's quantum theory to explain the stability of most atoms. He found that the ratio of energy in electrons and the frequency of their orbits around the nucleus was equal to ...

Superradiance in optical cavities involves atoms emitting light collectively when interacting with cavity photons, a ...

Students will be able to explain that the parts of an object can be rearranged to create a new object. Students will also get a sense of the number of different objects that can be created from a ...

Ensure students have an understanding of how mass and atomic numbers can explain the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in atoms. Explain with examples that isotopes have the same number of ...

One half of the Physics World 2024 Breakthrough of the Year has been awarded to Mikhail Lukin, Dolev Bluvstein and colleagues at Harvard University, the Massachusetts ...

Atoms also spontaneously emit photons into free ... “While our current simulations were able to reproduce the experimental data, and explained why full synchronization cannot take place under ...

MIT physicists have found an innovative way to create a new magnetic state in a material using only light. By using a special ...
