Richard Feynman, a famous theoretical physicist who won the Nobel Prize, said that if he could pass on only one piece of scientific information to future generations, it would be that all things are ...

POSITIVELY charged hydrogen atoms with velocities acquired by falling through 300 to 900 volts have been found to possess an unexpected range in helium and other gases. With helium pressures so high ...

Physicists, who dedicate their lives to studying the topic, don’t actually seem to like physics very much since they’re always hoping it’s broken. But we’ll have to forgive them; finding out that a ...

Researchers in Argonne's Physics Division teamed up to conduct the most precise measurement ever made of the charge radius — one aspect of the size — of the Borromean nucleus of helium-6. ARGONNE, ...

Which is your favourite chemical element? To mark the International Year of the Periodic Table, our science journalists will be arguing for their pick from the 118 known elements. In this instalment, ...

Helium is the simplest element in the periodic table with more than one particle in its nucleus, yet state of the art theory and experiments on it don't add up. When you purchase through links on our ...

The methods previously described have been applied to a study of the elastic scattering of 4· 2 MeV protons by deuterium, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, neon, argon, chlorine and bromine. The results ...
