Researchers have succeeded in building a microscope that allows magnifying the wave function of excited electronic states of the hydrogen atom by a factor of more than 20,000, leading to a ...

An orbital structure is the space in an atom that’s occupied by an electron. But when describing these super-microscopic properties of matter, scientists have had to rely on wave functions — a ...

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis is an important technology to produce large-scale green hydrogen. Platinum ...

Physicists in the US claim to have used a transmission electron microscope (TEM) to see a single hydrogen atom – the first time that a TEM has been used to image such a light atom. The breakthrough ...

If a single, solitary atom of anti-hydrogen annihilated in the room you're in, would you notice anything? Would it be bad for you?

AN ATOM'S electrons are an ever-shifting quantum melee, but it turns out you can still take their photograph as if they were standing still. A quantum-style microscope has imaged the hydrogen atom ...

Vrakking says that the ultimate goal of the research was to study and visualize the hydrogen atom. Future experiments may look at how the atom would react within a magnetic field, study time-resolved ...

But a few years back, researchers put a heavier version of the electron, called a muon, in orbit around a proton. This formed an exotic, heavier version of the hydrogen atom.
