Rubidium atoms can behave unpredictably during atomic collisions, especially when exposed to specific laser light. Researchers have now discovered that these tiny interactions can release ...

Finally, the collision of two identical free particles and the important role of exchange therein is treated. The Theory of Atomic Collisions. By N. F. Mott Dr. H. S. W. Massey. (The International ...

Atomic physics can be used to study atoms in isolation, and atomic collision physics can be used to study the way in which electrons interact. A process of particular interest is what happens when two ...

New research shows that atomic collisions can be controlled at higher temperatures, expanding quantum possibilities.

Quantum billiard balls: Digging deeper into light-assisted atomic collisions Feb 18, 2025 Demonstrating Feshbach resonances between a single ion and ultracold atoms ...

Atomic and molecular collision processes are the physical interactions of atoms and molecules when they are brought into close contact with each other and with electrons, protons, neutrons or ions.

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

Students in the third semester of the sophomore-level calculus-based physics sequence use the accelerator in three-hour atomic and nuclear collision (e.g., Rutherford scattering) experiments.

It would release about 8 megatons of energy upon impact, which is over 500 times greater than the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima in 1945. Article continues below YR4's projected trajectory ...
