There's no shortage of round celestial objects in our universe. Planets, moons and stars all exhibit lovely spherical shapes.

A research team has achieved a significant breakthrough in determining fundamental properties of atomic nuclei. The team conducted laser spectroscopy experiments on muonic helium-3. Muonic helium-3 is ...

A research team led by Professor Randolf Pohl from the Institute of Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has achieved a significant ...

An international research team led by the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI has measured the radius of the nucleus of muonic helium ...

Hydrogen is seen as the fuel of the future — one that would decarbonise world economy and stop global warming. If harvested in a sustainable manner, natural hydrogen may provide a clean and ...

In the second scenario, a hydrogen atom floating in space collided with another hydrogen atom that was attached to the fullerene. The researchers found that the two hydrogen atoms would bond ...

Geological resources may be able to provide billions—or even trillions—of metric tons of clean hydrogen, according to estimates from US government researchers. By tapping into existing ...

The electron in the hydrogen atom can move around the nucleus in a circular path of fixed radius and energy. These paths are called orbits, stationary states or allowed energy states. These orbits ...

of the Bohr radius of a hydrogen atom. This implies that tauonium can test the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics at smaller scales, providing a powerful tool for ...
