This image depicts the radium atom’s pear-shaped nucleus of protons and neutrons in the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons (yellow), and an electron (yellow ball with arrow) that has a ...

Scientists have developed a new method that can help them probe inside atom’s nucleus. Developed by researchers at MIT, the method uses the atom’s own electrons as “messengers” within a molecule to ...

THE Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table, meeting me on the street shortly before he left the world poorer in mirth and philosophy, said that he desired to ascend the scientific Mount Pisgah before he died ...

A radium atom and polyatomic molecule are held between the electrodes of an ion trap. Jayich’s team will use the radium molecule to search for time symmetry violation. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists at MIT discovered a method to create a kind of particle accelerator using a molecule of radium monofluoride. Once excited by lasers in a ...

Long before scientists split the atom, quacks and con artists were splitting the profits. Marie and Pierre Curie’s pioneering scientific work was 50 years old before America dropped the A-bomb. But ...

EVIDENCE of a convincing nature is rapidly accumulating to the effect that helium may be produced as a result of the disintegration of the radium atom. On the other hand, it has been suggested by ...

THE interesting results recorded by Mr. Eve in the preceding letter on the relative conductivity of gases for very penetrating Röntgen rays removes the strongest objection that has been urged against ...
