Anti-hydrogen is the antimatter equivalent of the hydrogen atom. The simplest atom in our Universe, hydrogen is usually made of a single proton and a single electron. Hydrogen is also one of the most ...

In a feat of modern-day alchemy, atom tinkerers have fooled hydrogen atoms into accepting a helium atom as one of their own. The camouflaged atom behaves chemically like hydrogen, but has four times ...

In some ways it’s a shame human beings ever figured out how the sun works. If we hadn’t figured that out, we never would have learned how nuclear fusion works. And if we hadn’t learned that, we wouldn ...

What lies within the H atom? Experimental observation of the transverse nodal structure of four atomic hydrogen Stark states. The images in the middle show experimental measurements. Interference ...

What you’re looking at is the first direct observation of an atom’s electron orbital — an atom’s actual wave function! To capture the image, researchers utilized a new quantum microscope — an ...

Scientists have captured the first ever photo of an electron’s whizzing orbit within a hydrogen atom, thanks to a unique new microscopy technique. Seeing inside the tiniest bits of matter is a ...
