Why does lead behave so differently from every other atomic nucleus when struck by electrons? A team of physicists at ...

Advances in electron cryo-microscopy have enabled structure determination of macromolecules at near-atomic resolution. However, structure determination, even using de novo methods, remains susceptible ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers of the Max Planck Institutes for Nuclear Physics (Heidelberg) and Quantum Optics (Garching) investigate for the first time helium atoms by means of electron holography in ...

Electrons are extremely round, and some physicists are not pleased about it. A new experiment captured the most detailed view of electrons to date, using lasers to reveal evidence of particles ...

Bohr’s Model of an Atom: Danish Physicist Niels Bohr received his Ph.D. from the University of Copenhagen in 1911. In 1922, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the atom’s ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers have utilized electron beam irradiation to in situ etch CaO in a TEM, which permits simultaneous fabrication and imaging with atomic resolution. This finding, reported in ...

The electron, against predictions, appears to be perfectly round, raising questions about one of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. An electron's shape refers to that of the cloud of ...

It’s like catching light in action. For the first time, physicists have measured changes in an atom to the level of zeptoseconds, or trillionths of a billionth of a second – the smallest division of ...
