Atom Computing is the first to announce a 1,000+ qubit quantum computer A startup company has upped its qubit count by an order of magnitude in two years.

An individual iron atom as well as one terbium atom were X-rayed, which revealed their electron arrangements.

The explosion which occurred when the uranium atom finally split was, proportionately, the greatest man-made blast in history; it released 200 million electron-volts.

This lesson utilizes an adaptation of the board game Subatomic: An Atom Building Game to help students learn about the different parts that make up an atom.

This award-winning picture of an atom floating in an electric field is visible with the naked eye if you really look hard.

Scientists have shown that sound waves can be used to interact with an individual atom and make it produce sound in response — on a quantum scale.

While a typical chemical bond requires two entities, there is one kind of atom that may be able to bond to "ghost" atoms or those that don't exist.

The hospital technology, typically used to identify human ailments, captured perhaps the world’s smallest magnetic resonance image.

IBM's approach, developed at its Almaden research lab and published in the journal Nature, uses a single atom of the element holmium carefully placed on a surface of magnesium oxide.

If the world’s official time is kept by the atom clock, the length of the day, in atomic hours, will increase as the motion of the earth slows down. Eventually man will enjoy a 25-hour day.
