A new species of cable bacteria, which function like electrical wiring, was recently discovered in the US. Its unique ...

A new study has found that such heavy metals may have formed through eruptions on a rare type of star called a magnetar.

Part of Physics (Single Science) Unit 1: Atomic and nuclear physics Protons and neutrons are the heaviest particles in an atom and as a result they make up most of its mass. The mass of electrons ...

Protons and neutrons are the heaviest particles in an atom and as a result they make up most of its mass. The mass of electrons is very small and often not considered to be significant.

The universe began with mostly hydrogen, helium, and tiny amounts of lithium. Heavier elements came later, forged in stars ...

“We normally look for carbon monoxide, just one carbon atom and one oxygen atom ... “This is the first-ever molecular cloud discovered by looking for far ultraviolet emission of molecular ...

MIT physicists have captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space. The pictures reveal ...

According to a study published in Nature Physics, a TU Darmstadt-led research team at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion ...

Crystals—from sugar and table salt to snowflakes and diamonds—don't always grow in a straightforward way. New York University ...

The cloud, named Eos, is chock-full of molecular hydrogen and possibly rife with star-forming potential in the future.

Scientists have produced one of the most neutron-rich isotopes, hydrogen-6, in an electron scattering experiment. The experiment presents a new method for investigating light, neutron-rich nuclei ...

But researchers have just discovered something that flips that assumption on its head: a newly identified species of bacteria that runs electricity through its body like a living electric wire.
