This lesson utilizes an adaptation of the board game Subatomic: An Atom Building Game to help students learn about the different parts that make up an atom. During their turn, players can choose to ...

When most of us picture an atom, we think about a small nucleus made of protons and neutrons orbited by one or more electrons. We view these electrons as point-like while rapidly orbiting the nucleus.

Almost anything is possible — at least for a subatomic particle. One of the many mystifying consequences of quantum mechanics — the rules that govern the behavior of tiny subatomic particles — is that ...

They say you can never trust an atom because they make up everything. This week, we’re shrinking down and getting literally into the heart of the matter. We’ve covered the periodic table and all its ...

When the quantum internet arrives, researchers predict it will shift the computing landscape on a scale unseen in decades. In their estimation, it will make hacking a thing of the past. It will secure ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

There’s nothing like a game of catch — tossing a baseball back and forth promises some old-fashioned, low-effort fun. But it’s a difficult endeavor when it involves frosty atoms and lasers. This new ...

Say hello to the d-star hexaquark. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Researchers think that a newly identified subatomic particle ...

A team of scientists in Hungary recently published a paper that hints at the existence of a previously unknown subatomic particle. The team first reported finding traces of the particle in 2016, and ...

The interest in exotic atoms arises from the fact that they often facilitate the most basic experimental strategy used in physics: changing a single parameter or component in an otherwise complex ...
