Masaki Kashiwara is the first Japanese person to be awarded the most prestigious prize in mathematics. Mathematician Masaki ...

Researchers have identified the border between quantum physics and some as-yet-unknown post-quantum realm by mathematically ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

Therefore, electrons cannot be arranged at random, but they must have fixed levels of energy within each type of atom. Bohr's 'solar system' model of the atom is the way that most people think ...

To begin with, there’s no single quantum theory. There’s quantum mechanics ... which explains the stability of the nucleus at the heart of the atom; and the weak nuclear force, which explains ...

SCIENCE is steadily becoming severely specialised. The proportion of amateurs (in the restricted sense of the word) among original workers of all ranks decreases slowly but surely. The average ...

Others took notice and named his theory "big bang." LeMaitre's ideas opened more questions, many of which forced physics and astronomy together: What was that primordial atom like? Why would it ...

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 ...

helium atom which possesses only two electrons. Further, Bohr’s theory was also unable to explain the splitting of spectral lines in the presence of magnetic field (Zeeman effect) or an electric ...

Researchers May Have Found Evidence of Stephen Hawking's 'Unproven Primordial Black Hole Theory' at the Bottom of the Sea Stephen Hawking was an exemplary scholar who provided multiple illuminating ...

Photoluminescent materials are more than just the glow-in-the-dark stars your parents glued to your bedroom ceiling as a ...
