But if you could zoom in on a basic carbon atom, you’d see six protons and six neutrons clumped together in the middle. You’d see six electrons, too. Sometimes people say electrons orbit the ...

When cosmologists used different ways to measure the value of sigma 8, a number that denotes how clumpy the universe is, they ...

Until now, atoms have never been imaged interacting freely in space, but a new technique known as non-resolved microscopy has ...

But if you could zoom in on a basic carbon atom, you’d see six protons and six neutrons clumped together in the middle. You’d see six electrons, too. Sometimes people say electrons orbit the nucleus.

Researchers suggest powerful bursts from magnetars—collapsed stars with strong magnetic fields—may have contributed up to 10 ...

Hats off to this duo. Brandi Fields and her son Kyle graduated from Texas Christian University together on Friday, marking a very special this Mother’s Day weekend for the studious pair.

NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center / S. Wiessinger As a flare’s ejected material cools and expands, the protons and neutrons in atoms can become rearranged, creating heavy metals. Elements are ...

In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, proteins accumulate in the body's cells, fold incorrectly and clump together to form larger aggregates. Normally, cells are able ...

This is because these “cold” neutrons have wavelengths on par with the separations of atoms in a materials. However, materials that contain large amounts of hydrogen-1 nuclei (protons) can be ...
