The researchers have now come a step closer to mapping this island by discovering the shortest-lived superheavy nucleus known so far, which marks the position of the island's shoreline in nuclei ...

This is a great question. The answer is well beyond an introduction to chemistry for middle school, but one thing you can say is that there is a force called the “Strong Force,” which holds protons ...

The protons and neutrons are paired and symmetrically arranged, resulting in a more spherical nucleus. Lead-208, with 82 protons and 126 neutrons, sits at the intersection of two magic numbers, ...

As a bit of history, on page 32, Bourzac says, “In the 20th century, physicists and chemists settled on a basic picture of the atom. At the dawn of the 1900s, the electron had been discovered.

Players read questions about energy levels and score points by picking the correct element as the answer. Electrons are in regions around the nucleus that are different distances away from the nucleus ...

Using the Summing Nal Detector, a team of experimental and theoretical scientists at FRIB took another step in understanding how an atomic nucleus can have two different shapes corresponding to ...

For his work with radiation and the atomic nucleus, Rutherford received the 1908 Nobel Prize in chemistry. He was slightly put out, since he was a physicist and felt a bit superior to chemistry ...
