As the nucleus splits, it also releases its neutrons. These neutrons bounce around at incredible speeds until some eventually ...

“Curious people,” according to Nobel Prize-winning physicist Luis Alvarez, “had the right to exhibit a controlled disrespect ...

Knowable Magazine reports that neutrinos may help explain the universe's missing antimatter, shedding light on matter-antimatter imbalance.

Stress is a very real factor in the structure of our universe. Not the kind of stress that students experience when taking a test, but rather the physical stresses that affect everyday objects.

An international team of researchers has discovered a new configuration of nuclear particles that decays by kicking out individual protons. With 85 protons and just 103 neutrons, the atomic nucleus is ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Explore the fundamental components of an atom: protons, neutrons, and electrons. This video discusses why the traditional model of the atom is inaccurate, highlighting the unpredictable nature of ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

The isotope lead-208 was predicted to be extremely stable and perfectly spherical because of the “magic” numbers of electrons and protons orbiting its nucleus. When researchers blasted lead-208 with ...

The film discusses the dual nature of atomic energy, likening it to the sun, which can both sustain and destroy life. It explains the structure of atoms and the process of nuclear fission, leading to ...
