What is the Electron Cloud Model: this is how electrons inside an atom really behave
From the ancient Greeks to quantum mechanics, the model of the atom has gone through many iterations.

Pressure in protons’ cores is over ten times greater that that in neutron stars
More pressure than you during finals.
The proton and antiproton are incredibly similar — indicating that perhaps, our universe shouldn’t exist
Why does the universe still exist? That's an intriguing question if I've ever heard one.
New measurement of a proton leaves us with more questions than answers
We just can't seem to determine exactly how tiny they are.
Matter and antimatter have the same properties, experiment suggests
All models of particle physics are based on the mundane assumption that matter and anti-matter are indistinguishable, but we can't ...
Perfection is overrated: Flawed graphene sheets may lead to better fuel cells
A rather surprising study found that graphene's imperfections can actually be used to improve fuel cell efficiency. Researchers from Northwestern ...
Record breaking energies achieved in a compact particle accelerator 3 million times smaller than the LHC
With the help of the most powerful laser in the world, scientists have achieved the highest energies yet in a ...
New exotic particle behaviour found at CERN
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN has started doing some serious business. This time, an extremely rare particle containing equal ...
Antimatter captured at CERN
For physicists, antimatter is probably the most valuable substance ever; the slightest bit of it could provide extremely valuable information ...
LHC produces first results
Since the Large Hadron Collider went back in business, all sort of rumors have been circling the scientific circles (and ...
