Nuclear fission – the physical process by which very large atoms like uranium split into pairs of smaller atoms – is what ...

Bohr went on to make enormous contributions to physics and, like Rutherford, to train a new generation of physicists. But his atomic model remains the best known work of a very long career.

Quantum physics just took a leap from theory to reality! Empa researchers have, for the first time, successfully built a long ...

In 1913, Niels Bohr revised Rutherford's model by suggesting that the electrons ... However, there was still a difference between the atomic number of the atom and the atomic mass.

For decades, scientists believed that lead-208, a "doubly magic" and highly stable atomic nucleus, was perfectly spherical.

For decades, atomic clocks have been the pinnacle of precision timekeeping, enabling GPS navigation, cutting-edge physics ...
