The team's calculations were made using a mathematical framework Bulgac began developing in the early 2000s based on Walter Kohn and Pierre Hohenberg's density functional theory, a quantum mechanical ...

Seven years ago, a scientist accomplished what no one else had before: capturing an image of a single atom. This stunning ...

The atom is a complex system of particles. It's made up of a central nucleus consisting of protons and neutrons, called nucleons, with electrons orbiting around the nucleus. Nobel prize-winning ...

Fermium studies indicate nuclear shell effects diminish as nuclear mass increases, emphasizing macroscopic influences in ...

DiVona; Image Processing: NASA / CXC / SAO / L. Frattare Sometimes, two neutron stars collide, a dramatic event that can ...

Bombardment of the nucleus with neutrons is peculiarly effective in ... He applied this to the assemblage of electrons in an atom (Thomson-Fermi atom model), and it has become the basis of the ...

Core package to analyze gravitational-wave data, find signals, and study their parameters. This package was used in the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW150914), and is used in the ...

Out of the limelight, theoretical physicists continue to seek a mathematical model that can explain the universe's particles and forces.

CERN researchers found that atomic nuclei shapes impact high-energy collision outcomes, offering new insights into nuclear ...

Uranium was discovered in 1789. The later revelation that the element was radioactive helped usher in the modern era of ...

At the same time, however, the company also announced that it was forming a partnership with a different startup, Atom Computing, which uses a different technology to make qubits available for ...
