U.S. scientists have developed a technique that can characterize the atomic structure of gold and other nanocrystalline materials.

Everything CCEA students need to know about the structure of the atom for GCSE Physics.

The structure emerges when the material solidifies looking for the minimum energy configuration. Every atom interacts with its neighbors via microscopic forces forming several patterns depending ...

The structure of gold nanoparticles has been largely unknown for over a decade. The current study helps to understand the stability, composition as well as electronic, chemical and optical properties ...

Gold nanoclusters—tiny particles composed of from a few to hundreds of gold atoms—are ideal models for studying how atomic structure affects material properties.

Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a powerful method to look deep inside single-atom catalysts—materials where every ...

These collisions are so intense that they can alter the structure of atomic nuclei, causing the emission or absorption of particles such as protons and neutrons.

The Geiger-Marsden experiment, also called the gold foil experiment, gave physicists their first view of the structure of the atomic nucleus.

Scientists have created one hell of an atomic movie at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California. With this killer movie, scientists could help design materials for future fusion ...

TO give a comprehensive critical survey of the prevailing theories of atomic structure and to indicate their triumphs and inadequacies in a volume of reasonable size is the professed object of the ...

The number of protons in an atom is called its atomic number. The atoms of each element in the periodic table have different number of protons, and hence different atomic number.
