The question of what protons or neutrons are made up of has an apparently simple answer: quarks and gluons. However, when it ...
Scientists with the HESS Observatory have identified the most energetic cosmic electrons ever observed. What could this mean ...
Quantum chaos, previously theoretical, has been observed experimentally, validating a 40-year-old theory about electrons ...
MIT physicists have taken a key step toward solving the puzzle of what leads electrons to split into fractions of themselves. Their solution sheds ...
Scientists at High Energy Stereoscopic System in Namibia have detected most energetic cosmic electrons ever observed after ...
The High Energy Stereoscopic System is a ground-based gamma-ray telescope in the highlands of Namibia and sensitive in the ...
The New Zealander had discovered the atomic nucleus in 1911 and further investigations by Bohr led to his quantum model of the atom where electrons travel around the nucleus in certain orbits. When ...
The new finding draws on the Feynman-Hellmann theorem, a principle in quantum mechanics that examines how energy changes in a ...
Light isn’t just for seeing—it can also give things a push. When light travels, it carries energy and momentum, which is like ...
Robert Oppenheimer and Max Born discovered that a major simplification in the calculations could be made because of the large difference between the masses of electrons and nuclei. This ...
