In a groundbreaking achievement, physicists have successfully peered inside the nucleus of a molecule using electrons as a probe. This pioneering development builds upon previous work where scientists ...

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 ...

Nuclear clocks would measure time based on changes inside an atom's nucleus, which would make them less sensitive to external disturbances and potentially more accurate than atomic clocks. These ...

A new technique allows physicists to take a glimpse inside an atom’s nucleus by using electrons as a ‘messenger’. The method may be able to reveal insights into the universe’s early existence without ...
