Niels Bohr's Nobel Lecture on December 11, 1922, titled The Structure of the Atom, is one of the most significant contributions to our understanding of atomic structure and quantum mechanics.

The approach uses X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy. Accurately determining atomic structures from spectroscopic data has long posed a challenge, particularly for complex ...

This is a necessary step in order to discretize the equations of motion that govern atomic motions and collisions, in order to solve them on a computer. This limitation makes it impossible to ...

It has been used to deduce the final movements of a murder victim found beneath a highway overpass and to trace the rise and fall of Earth’s temperature from before the invention of thermometers ...

One of the largest solar storms in recent history was the 1859 Carrington Event, which released roughly the same energy as 10 billion 1-megaton atomic bombs. After slamming into Earth, the ...

Heavy water is a form of water with a unique atomic structure and properties coveted for the production of nuclear power and weapons. Like ordinary water—H 2 0—each molecule of heavy water ...

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter. A further build-up of US nuclear capabilities would have little effect on whether China might resort to ...

Oct. 11, 2024 — Researchers have developed and demonstrated a technique that allows them to engineer a class of materials called layered hybrid perovskites (LHPs) down to the atomic level ...

That new language is the language of atomic warfare. The atomic age has moved forward at such a pace that every citizen of the world should have some comprehension, at least in comparative terms, of ...
