Silver-110’s decay reveals a promising path to measure antineutrino mass. New data could reshape future neutrino studies.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe has told skeptical U.S. lawmakers that American military strikes destroyed Iran’s lone metal ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung have discovered ...

A festinating new theory shifts focus from space to time, arguing the clock-ticking we take for granted is richer and weirder ...

A part of Rutherford’s scattering experiments, this particular experiment involved shooting alpha particles at a piece of gold foil with the source, foil, and detector placed in a vacuum vessel ...

In 1803, John Dalton's atomic theory brought them into scientific view, but the Manchester scientist was clear that he agreed with the Ancient Greeks and believed they could not be broken into ...

The tale of splitting the atom isn't just about America—it's a journey from New Zealand to Manchester, led by the brilliant mind of Ernest Rutherford, the true father of nuclear physics.

Physicists from both New Zealand and Britain have been credited with splitting the atom — but there is consensus that it was not an American.

The Bohr model provided a quantum explanation for atomic stability and radiation, something that classical physics had failed to explain. Before Bohr, atoms were seen as fragile and unstable ...
