However, fundamentally, the two important determinants of stability are surface chemical reactivity and the structural properties related to lattice structure and atomic interactions.

Learning with TOI News: Atoms are the fundamental components of matter, made up of three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. The structure of atoms determi ...

If certain fundamental constants changed, then two atomic clocks which are based on different elements would deviate from each other in a predictable manner over time.

For the first time the experiments allowed measuring the atomic structure of a transfermium element, e.g., the element nobelium (Z=102) with laser spectroscopy.

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) have developed a novel ...

Scientists have carried out ground-breaking experiments to investigate the atomic structure of astatine (atomic number 85), the rarest naturally occurring element on Earth. Through experiments ...
