It also tells us that chlorine has 18 neutrons (35 - 17) and, as the number of electrons and protons are equal in a neutral atom, chlorine also has 17 electrons. The relative mass of a nucleus is ...

The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other.

Why matter dominates over antimatter in our universe has long been a major cosmic mystery to physicists. A new finding by the ...

Proton transfer in aqueous systems is a fundamental process occurring constantly around us. It involves a molecule losing a ...

The Proton builds on the Wattbike Atom, a model marketed towards the ardent cyclist and the more appropriate option for keen road cyclists. I’m a bit taken aback by the simplicity of the Proton.

Let’s take a short break and look back into the history of “atom smashers” and the scientific progress they brought along. Proton accelerator used by Walton & Cockroft to split the atom.

Chadwick's own research focused on radioactivity. In 1919 Rutherford had discovered the proton, a positively charged particle within the atom's nucleus. But they and other researchers were finding ...
