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, it was ...

We have reached an extraordinary point in the history of science, for some physicists believe they are now on the verge of having a single theory that will unite all of their science under one ...

Democritus of Abdera was a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher best known for developing the atomic theory of the universe. While he has become known in the history of philosophy as the "Laughing ...

New theoretical physics research introduces a simulation method of machine-learning-based effective Hamiltonian for super-large-scale atomic structures. This effective Hamiltonian method could ...

Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (commonly referred to AMO Physics) is the study of the interaction between light and matter. Physicists study this interaction on various scales, from the atomic ...

An international research collaboration led by the University of Surrey's Nuclear Physics Group has overturned the ...

Atomic nuclei exhibit multiple energy scales simultaneously—ranging from hundreds down to fractions of a megaelectronvolt. A new study demonstrates that these drastically different scales can be ...

Scientific theory has had a rough time in America’s public schools. Almost 100 years ago, John Scopes was convicted of violating a Tennessee law prohibiting teaching ...
