MIT scientists used radium monofluoride atom to observe electrons entering atomic nuclei, revealing new details of nuclear magnetism.

The idea of the atom as the building block of matter has developed over time. What was thought of as a single particle about 1 × 10‾¹⁰ m across is now known to be a collection of smaller particles.

Pictures of DNA often look very tidy—the strands of the double helix neatly wind around each other, making it seem like studying genetics should be relatively straightforward. In truth, these strands ...

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 roughly ...
