Most of the “size” of an atom is just the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus, and that’s not a solid thing— it will shift around in response to electric and magnetic fields applied ...

Giant atom hides its neighbors under a single-electron skirt Atomic radius expands, pulling neighboring atoms into its warm embrace.

If you enlarged the atom to stadium sized, you’d be able to see the nucleus (through the electron cloud haze, of course) as a tiny marble-sized sphere in the middle.

Remarkable molecules whose electron clouds would resemble now-extinct marine creatures called trilobites could appear in experiments on ultracold atom clouds known as Bose-Einstein condensates ...

In order to achieve an interaction between an electron and many atoms, an atom is excited from a cloud consisting of 100,000 atoms using laser light.

Microsoft-owned GitHub announced it will sunset its popular Atom 'hackable text editor' late this year as it concentrates on cloud-based dev tooling.

The tiny red clouds (more electrons) in the undoped sample on the left (BaFe2As2) reveal the weak charge quadrupole of the iron atom, while the blue clouds (fewer electrons) around the outer ...

Physicists generally regard an atom’s nucleus as immune to the tumult of the electron cloud that surrounds it. To excite the nucleus, electrons leaping between energy states would have to emit a ...

In the electron cloudPosted: April 16, 2010 In the electron cloud (Nanowerk News) The chemistry between atoms and molecules is strongly determined by their outer electron orbitals, or clouds, which ...
