Hybrid model A new description of nuclei combines the quark–gluon model of particle physics with the proton–neutron ...

The smallest unit of information in a computer is the bit: on or off, 1 or 0. Today, the world's entire computing power is built on the combination and interconnection of countless ones and zeros.

Scientists have set up and observed a single electron bond between two carbon molecules. A traditional “single bond” is actually two electrons—one from each atom. This is one electron. The fragile ...

Some elements in the periodic table, such as carbon, silicon, and germanium, are intrinsic semiconductors due to the number of electrons in their outermost electron shells. By comparison ...

Researchers are working on technology that could follow NASA’s Europa Clipper mission and hunt for life in the ocean of ...

The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other.

When two hydrogen atoms get close enough, the electron from each atom feels an attraction from the proton in the other atom's nucleus. This attraction pulls the atoms together. The electrons end up ...

Astrophysical explosions are, to give a few examples, driven by the collapse of the iron core of a massive star (known as a ...
