Scientists of the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) in Kiruna and Umeå University find that under certain conditions ...

Another of the instruments planned for flight aboard NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) is ready for installation on the spacecraft. IMAP-Ultra is a particle imager capable ...

Most atoms are made from positively charged protons, neutral neutrons and negatively charged electrons. Positronium is an exotic atom composed of a single negative electron and a positively charged ...

The atomic nucleus contains a mix of positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons ... Electrons that are bound to atoms possess a set of stable energy levels, or orbitals, and ...

Most atoms are made from positively charged protons, neutral neutrons and negatively charged electrons. Positronium is an ...

Shining lasers onto the atoms prompts them to release some energy and slow down ... Prodding each neutral atom with yet another laser excites them, greatly increasing their size.

A rare physical state, previously only seen in electrons, has now been recreated in atoms frozen down to near ... development of lossless and efficient energy and data transmission systems.

At the South Pole, there’s a science experiment that makes the Burj Khalifa—the world’s tallest building—look small. It’s ...

The atoms bond because there is a strong enough attraction in both directions and room for the electrons in the outer energy level of the atoms. When two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom get close ...

The Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA), led by Berkeley Lab with Sandia National Laboratories as the lead partner, is a U.S.

Now, scientists at MIT have created an experimental set-up that recreates the quantum Hall effect, but uses ultracold cloud of sodium atoms instead ... they formed lossless energy states locked ...

The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their outer energy level than does silicon. Because boron has one less electron than is required ...
