A small research team managed to put an antiproton in orbit around the nucleus of a helium atom that was part of some liquid helium chilled down to where it acted as a superfluid. The researchers ...

The onset of “electron correlation” in the helium atom has been observed for the first time by an international team of researchers. Using the “photoionization microscopy” technique that the team ...

An international research collaboration featuring scientists from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the National High ...

Researchers at University of Cambridge and University of Newcastle recently introduced a new method to measure helium atom diffraction with microscopic spatial resolution. This method, outlined in ...

Helium is the simplest element in the periodic ... physicists are close to solving a major cosmic mystery Why isn’t an atom’s nucleus round? The discrepancy between theory and experiment ...

Physicists have created the first-ever atomic vortex beam — a swirling tornado of atoms and molecules with mysterious properties that have yet to be understood. By sending a straight beam of ...

“And what scientific treasures they turned out to be!” Only about one helium-3 atom exists for every million helium-4 atoms, Horton said. The team measured about 10 million helium-3 atoms per ...

In a world first, researchers have recorded exactly how solvents interact with dissolved materials, one atom at a time. After a solute, such as salt, dissolves in a solvent, such as water, the two ...
