Study Shows How Quantum Electrodynamics was Discovered

Ionization energy is one of the most important physicochemical parameters. It is defined in terms of the amount of energy required to rip an electron from an atom.

Plutonium Particles Released from Nuclear Testing are More Complex and Varied

When the British blew up nine atomic bombs in distant locations of South Australia, inclusive of Maralinga, over 100 kg of highly toxic plutonium (Pu) and uranium (U) was distributed into the environment in the form of very small “hot” radioactive particles.

New Networks Provide a Better and More Complete Picture of Meteor Showers

Comets that circle the Sun in very elongated orbits spread their debris so thin along their orbit or eject it out of the solar system altogether that their meteor showers are hard to detect.

Researchers Combine Two Different Plasma Technologies to Build New Hybrid Accelerator

Since they are far more compact than today's accelerators, which can be kilometers long, plasma accelerators are considered as a promising technology for the future.

Physicists Investigate How Different Theories fit With the Observational Data of M87* Black Hole

As first pointed out by the German astronomer Karl Schwarzschild, black holes bend space-time to an extreme degree due to their extraordinary concentration of mass, and heat up the matter in their vicinity so that it begins to glow.

Astronomers Trace Locations of Powerful Radio Blasts to Spiral Arms of Five Distant Galaxies

Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have traced the locations of five brief, powerful radio blasts to the spiral arms of five distant galaxies.

Scientists Discover the Most Ancient Spiral Galaxy

Scientists studying the data acquired with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have identified a galaxy with a spiral structure that formed just 1.4 billion years after the famous Big Bang.
