the electron is not literally a tiny ball of charge. In fact, to the best of our knowledge, the "bare" electron is a featureless point. If you could turn off all of its interactions with the rest ...

A research team at European XFEL and DESY has achieved a major advance in X-ray science by generating unprecedented ...

Scientists made a major advancement in X-ray science by creating high-power attosecond hard X-ray pulses with megahertz ...

The “lead” of a pencil is actually made of a substance called graphite which is made of carbon atoms. The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and ...

Since the discovery of X-rays in 1895, scientists have continuously endeavored to increase the brilliance of X-ray sources to ...

In spintronics, the flow of electrical charges as well as the flow of electron spin, the so-called spin current, are manipulated and controlled together. Whereas charge current flows without decay ...

Beta (\(\beta^-\)) decay is the release of an electron by the change of a neutron to a proton. The neutron (charge = 0) is made up of one up quark (charge = \(\frac{2}{3}\)) and two down quarks ...
