At the subatomic level, particles interact not only with one another, but with the quantum ... an electron not as a particle when it’s in a hydrogen atom, but rather as a “probability cloud ...

Since the atomic nucleus was first proposed in 1911, physicists simply assumed it was round. ​ But are the nuclei of atoms ...

Today, this model is known as the quantum model or the electron cloud model. The inner orbitals surrounding the atom are spherical but the outer orbitals are much more complicated. An atom's ...

They realized that each atom had a dense, heavy, positively charged nucleus surrounded by a cloud of tiny ... An orbiting electron, if it followed this solar system model, would instead emit ...

When two-dimensional electron systems are subjected to magnetic fields at low temperatures, they can exhibit interesting ...

“And there would be a large volume all around it that’s mostly empty space… If I were to model ... atom has a unique fingerprint.” To make things a little weirder, the electron cloud ...

A quantum computer has used a single atom to model the complex dynamics of organic molecules interacting with light ...

Researchers have been able to initiate a controlled movement in the very heart of an atom ... that no quantum information is lost during the interaction between electron and nucleus.
