No one really knows what happens inside an atom. But two competing groups of scientists think they've figured it out. And both are racing to prove that their own vision is correct. Still, no one knows ...

In a groundbreaking achievement, physicists have successfully peered inside the nucleus of a molecule using electrons as a probe. This pioneering development builds upon previous work where scientists ...

This image depicts the radium atom’s pear-shaped nucleus of protons and neutrons in the center, surrounded by a cloud of electrons (yellow), and an electron (yellow ball with arrow) that has a ...

A new technique allows physicists to take a glimpse inside an atom’s nucleus by using electrons as a ‘messenger’. The method may be able to reveal insights into the universe’s early existence without ...
