THE theory of atomic structure has, during the past few years, reached a stage of sufficient success and stability for it to be possible to describe many of its features in a simple manner.
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 ...
Nuclear clocks could be much more accurate than current atomic clocks, which provide official international time and play major roles in technologies such as GPS, internet synchronization ...
The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a graphene sheet used as a crystal grating withstood 100 hours of irradiation from an atom beam without damage, and distinctive circular ...
The next generation of atomic clocks "ticks" with the frequency of a laser. This is about 100,000 times faster than the ...
In this book, therefore, he has attempted to provide a bridge by means of which the student of metallurgy may be led to an understanding of the general ideas on which the modern theory is based.
Current atomic interferometers rely on nanomechanical membranes, but increased momentum transfer via crystal gratings could make interferometers even more sensitive. On September 14, 2015 ...
