Chlorine naturally exists as two isotopes, \(_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}\) (chlorine-35) and \(_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}\) (chlorine-37). The abundance of chlorine-35 is 75% ...

For example, the atomic number of chlorine is 17. Every chlorine atom has 17 protons and 17 electrons. It has 17 positive charges and 17 negative charges, meaning that it is neutral overall. Atoms of ...

A new kind of quantum computer uses a high-resolution microscope to control the electron spins of titanium atoms. Plus, the Universe-mapping Euclid telescope fixes the wobble that threatened its ...

Jan. 22 (UPI) --Scientists have for the first time precisely calculated the temperature of heavy atoms in a supernova shockwave, a feat that could provide valuable insights into the nature of violent ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces between three or more atoms bind them together, even ...

How many atoms are there in a kilogram of silicon? This number is Avogadro’s constant and working out its value is one of the more important tasks that materials scientists face. Today, a group of ...

Quantum entanglement, the invisible connection between particles that entwines them in such a way that they act as one, has ...
