This image depicts the radium atom’s pear-shaped nucleus of protons and neutrons in the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons (yellow), and an electron (yellow ball with arrow) that has a ...

MIT scientists used radium monofluoride atom to observe electrons entering atomic nuclei, revealing new details of nuclear magnetism.

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, ...

Long before scientists split the atom, quacks and con artists were splitting the profits. Marie and Pierre Curie’s pioneering scientific work was 50 years old before America dropped the A-bomb. But ...

A radium atom and polyatomic molecule are held between the electrodes of an ion trap. Jayich’s team will use the radium molecule to search for time symmetry violation. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

THE interesting results recorded by Mr. Eve in the preceding letter on the relative conductivity of gases for very penetrating Röntgen rays removes the strongest objection that has been urged against ...

THE Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table, meeting me on the street shortly before he left the world poorer in mirth and philosophy, said that he desired to ascend the scientific Mount Pisgah before he died ...
