Relativistic electrons in the outer Van Allen belt wreak havoc with satellites in geosynchronous orbit, but how they reach such high energies has been unclear. New data identify gyro-resonant ...

Two experimental methods are described for measuring the gravitational force on electrons falling through vertical metal tubes. A third method is being devised to study the fall of positrons. You have ...

This experiment reveals patterns and behaviors that are usually invisible, giving a rare glimpse into the quantum world Trump admin weighs major change to Social Security disability benefits Tarik ...

A team of researchers from TU Wien has shed new light on the behavior of electrons fleeing a solid material. Their research solves a long-standing mystery in condensed matter physics. When a material ...

There’s no such thing as an absolutely flat stage on the roads of the Vaucluse and Drôme, but there’s definitely an opportunity here for the sprinters and that will mean the breakaway riders won’t get ...

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, it was roughly ...

When building an atom, pay close attention to the particles' electrical charges. Protons have a charge of +1. Electrons have a charge of -1. Neutrons are neutral, as its name implies. A stable atom ...

THINGS look sweet for ­billionaire Nick Candy and his glamorous new partner. The Reform UK treasurer left an Italian restaurant in London’s Mayfair arm in arm with ...
