Test of quantum electrodynamics circumvents insufficient knowledge of nuclear structure Many atomic nuclei have a magnetic ...

According to a study published in Nature Physics, a TU Darmstadt-led research team at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion ...

For the first time, a research team has successfully produced one of the most neutron-rich isotopes, hydrogen-6, in an ...

A theoretical study by RIKEN physicists, published in Physics Letters B, has accurately determined the interaction between a ...

Here, neutrons, protons and some electrons roam freely. And what truly happens in the core region of a neutron star is a matter of much debate, because the physics here is so far beyond our ...

Part of Physics (Single Science) Unit 1: Atomic and nuclear physics Protons and neutrons are the heaviest particles in an atom and as a result they make up most of its mass. The mass of electrons ...

Electrons orbit the nucleus. An atom has a neutral charge, because it contains the same number of positive protons and negative electrons. If it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion.

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics ...
