A new computational method allows modern atomic models to learn from experimental thermodynamic data, according to a ...

Physicists working with molybdenum-84, a nucleus containing exactly 42 protons and 42 neutrons, have found that this seemingly balanced atom defies one of nuclear physics’ longest-standing ...

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 ...

The 53rd Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society’s Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics begins May 30. Scientists from around the world will present new findings on atoms, simple ...

Safronova describes how quantum clocks work can act as new observatories for this invisible universe, searching for subtle drifts in their ticking that could signal dark matter, and testing gravity on ...

Delve into the detail of atomic physics. As the basic units of matter, atoms are the building blocks for everything in the universe. Once thought to be indivisible, we now know they can indeed be ...

Streaming platforms for Atomic Physics Part 1: The Atomic Theory haven’t been announced yet. Check back soon for updates on where you can watch it online.

The Bohr Model of Hydrogen revolutionized our understanding of atomic structure and behavior. In this video, we simplify the calculations of force and velocity within the hydrogen atom using Bohr’s ...

Earth’s gravity distorts spacetime. As far as we know, every point on Earth experiences time and space differently by a minuscule — but measurable — amount. Atomic clocks are one of the ways to detect ...
