Science Made Simple: What Are Atomic Nuclei?
What Are Atomic Nuclei? In 1911, Ernest Rutherford discovered that at the core of every atom is a nucleus. Atomic nuclei consist of electrically positive…

Researchers at ETH Zurich have succeeded in observing a crystal that consists only of electrons. Such Wigner crystals were already predicted almost ninety years ago…
What Is Nucleosynthesis? Nucleosynthesis is the creation of new atomic nuclei, the centers of atoms that are made up of protons and neutrons. Nucleosynthesis first…
At roughly the size of a fingertip, the integrated photonics chip delivers random number output more than twice as fast as conventional QRNGs. As pervasive…
Material could be used in future quantum computing applications. An international team of physicists led by the University of Minnesota has discovered that a unique…
How reproducible are measurements in solid-state physics? New measurements show: An allegedly sensational effect does not exist at all. A single measurement result is not…
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have observed the absorption of a single electron by a levitated droplet with such a magnification that it is…
Inside each proton or neutron there are three quarks bound by gluons. Until now, it has often been assumed that two of them form a…
Glass is one of the most common subjects we see every day, but the detailed structure of this non-metallic and non-liquid material has always been…
The ability to turn on and off a physical process with just one photon is a fundamental building block for quantum photonic technologies. Realizing this…
The magic of mathematics is particularly reflected in magic squares. Recently, quantum physicist Gemma De las Cuevas and mathematicians Tim Netzer and Tom Drescher introduced…
Skoltech researchers and their colleagues from RAS Institute for Physics of Microstructures, Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, ITMO University, Lomonosov Moscow State University, and…
Gravity might play a bigger role in the formation of elementary particles than scientists used to believe. A team of physicists from RUDN University obtained…
Atomically thin van der Waals magnets are widely seen as the ultimately compact media for future magnetic data storage and fast data processing. Controlling the…
Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) Collaboration directly observed a spectral softening of helium nuclei at about 34TeV for the first time. This work was based…
Remote quantum distribution on the ground is limited because of the loss of photons in optical fibers. One solution for remote quantum communication lies in…
Researchers have used a technique similar to MRI to follow the movement of individual atoms in real time as they cluster together to form two-dimensional…
Scientists dramatically enhance the achievable resolution at free-electron lasers with a new technique. Hard X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) have delivered intense, ultrashort X-ray pulses for…
