This lesson utilizes an adaptation of the board game Subatomic: An Atom Building Game to help students learn about the different parts that make up an atom. During their turn, players can choose to ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Almost anything is possible — at least for a subatomic particle. One of the many mystifying consequences of quantum mechanics — the rules that govern the behavior of tiny subatomic particles — is that ...

They say you can never trust an atom because they make up everything. This week, we’re shrinking down and getting literally into the heart of the matter. We’ve covered the periodic table and all its ...

Wolfgang Pauli, the Austrian physicist who predicted the neutrino’s existence, also won a Nobel, but not for the neutrino (he did a lot of other very important stuff). He might have won for the ...

While the world's largest atom smasher was busy finding the Higgs boson — the particle thought to explain why other particles have mass — physicists have been quietly building giant laboratories deep ...

Like atoms, subatomic particles can link up to form “molecules.” A long-studied subatomic particle called Lambda (1405) is actually a molecule of two tightly knit particles, researchers report in the ...

When most of us picture an atom, we think about a small nucleus made of protons and neutrons orbited by one or more electrons. We view these electrons as point-like while rapidly orbiting the nucleus.

If you continue zooming in on the universe, the familiar world quickly dissolves. Molecules turn into atoms, atoms into ...

Last year, scientists at TU Wien studied the formation of quantum entanglement on attosecond timescales, providing the first insights into how quickly the phenomenon unfolds, challenging the ...
