The question is from a student in Mrs. Alexander's seventh-grade science class at Smithton Middle School. A: "An electron is both a wave and a particle. You cannot pinpoint exactly where it is as any ...

ELECTRONS can orbit the nucleus of an atom in the same way a class of asteroids orbits the sun. The work could allow for new levels of control over chemical reactions. Many people picture atoms as ...

The transition between classical physics and quantum physics is always fascinating. How does an object go from behaving in a deterministic manner to occupying the quantum world, where its activities ...

Researchers are investigating novel ways by which electrons are knocked out of matter. Their research could have implications for radiation therapy. Researchers at Japan's Tohoku University are ...
