Michigan's future depends in large part on our ability to transform ourselves into a place that attracts the best and the brightest from around the world, and then taking the knowledge that those ...

Sarah T. Stewart is the director of the Shock Compression Lab at UC Davis and co-principal investigator for a new NSF-funded center to study a new area of physics. University of California, Davis, ...

Scientists have finally glimpsed chemistry at its smallest level after capturing the first-ever X-ray of a single atom. Atoms are the tiniest particles in our universe, and they're the basic ...

Dr Jacinda Ginges, from UQ’s School of Mathematics and Physics, said the unusual atom – made up of an ordinary caesium atom and an elementary particle called a muon – may prove essential in better ...

The results of a new experiment could shift research of the proton by reviving previously discarded theories of its inner workings. Asymmetry in the proton confounds physicists, but a new discovery ...

SP hybridization occurs when one s orbital and one p orbital from the same atom combine to form two new orbitals of equal energy. These new orbitals are linearly oriented 180 degrees apart, leading to ...

Kristian Camilleri is an associate professor of history and philosophy of science at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and author of Heisenberg and the Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. In ...

University of California, Davis, will be part of a new National Science Foundation Physics Frontier Center focusing on understanding the physics and astrophysical implications of matter under ...
