Enron, a company that has had a satirical resurrection, unveiled the "Enron Egg," a parody product, on Monday.

Ernest Rutherford had recently suggested the atom had a miniature, dense nucleus surrounded by a cloud of nearly weightless electrons. There were a few problems with the model, however.

Photo: Niels Bohr's research notes for his new atomic theory Rutherford's find came from a very strange experience. Everyone at that time imagined the atom as a "plum pudding." That is ...

Astrophysicist P. Ajith discusses universe expansion, combining Einstein's theory of relativity and quantum physics for ...

Catalysts can transform a starting material into a product or fuel with lower energy, like the yeast in bread making and ...

It also tells us that chlorine has 18 neutrons (35 - 17) and, as the number of electrons and protons are equal in a neutral atom, chlorine also has 17 electrons. The relative mass of a nucleus is ...

To begin with, there’s no single quantum theory. There’s quantum mechanics ... which explains the stability of the nucleus at the heart of the atom; and the weak nuclear force, which explains ...

This lecture marks a key moment in Bohr’s scientific journey, coming shortly after he had developed his model of the atom, which had revolutionized the field of atomic physics. Here’s a ...

When quantum electrodynamics, the quantum field theory of electrons and photons, was being developed after World War II, one of the major challenges for theorists was calculating a value for the Lamb ...
