The simplicity of a hydrogen atom makes it an ideal model for studying atomic structure and interactions. Yet, despite the ...

There has been considerable debate among physicists over the last 15 years about conflicting measurements of the charge ...

Physics broke down somewhere between a proton and a muon. Not dramatically, not visibly, but quietly enough to keep researchers arguing for 15 years over something that should have been simple: how ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Physicists have begun to explore the proton as if it were a subatomic planet. Cutaway maps display newfound details of the particle’s ...

There is a growing need for alternative battery technologies. While lithium-ion batteries are widely used, they depend on resources with limited availability, such as lithium and cobalt, whose ...
