The electronic structure of atoms and molecules is the series of energy levels that it are possible for a bound electron to occupy. This electronic structure determines many of the defining ...

I spent last week at he annual meeting of theAmerican's Physical Society's Division of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics (colloquially referred to as "DAMOP" pronounced "DAY-mop"), with about ...

The ability to describe the internal structure of atoms is important not only for understanding the composition of matter, but also for designing new experiments to explore fundamental physics.

Q: What happens to the world when you get down to really low temperatures, and why is that of interest to you? Luis Orozco: Probably the most important thing that low temperature brings us is that ...

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) have developed a novel method for investigating the internal structure of atoms and discovered ...

Hollow atoms are special atoms with multiple missing electrons in their inner shells, while their outer shells are still fully or partially filled with electrons. Studying the production mechanisms, ...

Free falling: Einstein's equivalence principle holds that the motion of freely-falling bodies (whether apples, oranges, or anything else) is independent of their composition. The Cold Atom Laboratory ...
