The Pauli exclusion principle is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics and is essential for the structure ...

A nuclear engineer reacts to a fascinating idea explored by Kurzgesagt: what would reality look like if atoms were scaled up ...

(Nanowerk News) When world-leading teams join forces, new findings are bound to be made. This is what happened when quantum physicists from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) and the Max ...

Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...

Researchers have used equipment originally intended for astronomy observation to capture transformations in the nuclear structure of atomic nuclei, reports a new study. A group of researchers have ...

Atomic, molecular and optical physics lies at the intersection of quantum mechanics and electromagnetic theory, providing the fundamental framework for our understanding of matter and light.

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

AZoNano speaks to Dr. John Miao about his involvement in the breakthrough research that could rewrite our understanding of how substances are formed at an atomic level. Using an innovative atomic ...

Even if you’re one of the most precise physicists on the planet — as University of Delaware Professor Marianna Safronova is — you still will need collaborators whose skills complement your own and ...

The use of atomic clocks could help bring cosmology and astrophysics "down to Earth" by allowing scientists to investigate the mysteries of dark energy and dark matter in the lab. When you purchase ...

Editor’s Note: Professor WERNER HEISENBERG, who was born in Duisburg in 1901, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932 for his work on the quantum theory. A member of the faculty of the ...
