Bohr suggested the revolutionary idea that electrons "jump" between energy levels (orbits) in a quantum fashion, that is, without ever existing in an in-between state. Thus when an atom absorbs or ...

The team's observations also hint at the existence of three more exoplanet candidates, in various orbits around the star. Using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT ...
