Kurzgesagt has a neat new explainer: “How small is an atom?” I watched it. It does a great job at giving you an idea of how small atoms are and how they work. But it doesn’t matter, because ...

How do we model the carrier transport in such atomic scale devices? One way is to improve existing device models by including more and more parameters. This is called the top-down approach.

It is a story of how ideas changed about the nature of the atom. These are the notes (and diagrams) I use when I teach the atomic nature of matter to non-science majors. The best thing about this ...

Here's a new chapter in the story of the miniaturisation of machines: researchers in a laboratory in Singapore have shown that a single atom can function as either an engine or a fridge. Such a ...

The atomic model consists of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in shells. The numbers of particles in an atom can be calculated from its atomic number and mass number.

Bohr’s Model of an Atom: Students get to know the Bohr’s Model of an Atom. Find out what are its limitations and the postulates it is based on.

First open-source all-atom models of S protein The scientists produced the first open-source all-atom models of a full-length spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 that facilitates entry into host cells.

Technology Atomic Legoland: How to build wonder stuff from the atom up Miracle materials that would supercharge clean energy are on the cards now we can play with individual atoms.

Matter is made up of very small parts called atoms. Atoms can combine in different numbers and in different ways to make different molecules. Atoms and molecules make up all of the different ...

Shining light on a water droplet creates effects analogous to what happens in an atom. This can help us understand how atoms work, write researchers.
