Static electricity works because electrons are strongly attracted to protons, right? But, in atoms, electrons are right there, next to the protons in the nucleus. Why don’t the electrons zip directly ...

Why does changing just one proton in the nucleus of an atom create a different element? The number of protons in an atomic ...

There is so much more to these “negatively charged particles” than we've thought. You learned what an electron is in school… or DID YOU? You probably learned that it’s a “negatively charged particle” ...

Quantum physics is usually associated with particle colliders and vacuum chambers, not with the proteins quietly shuttling ...

Measuring up: an electron scattering experiment yields a small proton radius. (Courtesy: Jefferson Lab) For nearly a decade the size of the particle that makes up the bulk of the universe’s visible ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences The angular distribution of electrons of given energy ejected by ionization of atomic hydrogen is calculated ...

At the subatomic level, particles interact not only with one another, but with the quantum fields inherent to space, both owing to the presence of charged sources and also to the quantum vacuum of ...
