Bohr’s atomic orbits . S. Egts. In Bohr’s model of the hydrogen atom, one electron, carrying a negative electrical charge, circles a nucleus consisting of a single proton, which has a positive ...

For over 100 years, two theories have shaped our understanding of the universe: quantum mechanics and Einstein’s general ...

Niels Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom—first published 100 years ago and commemorated in a special issue of Nature—is simple, elegant, revolutionary, and wrong. Well, "wrong" isn't exactly ...

Quantum mechanics, or quantum physics, is the body of scientific laws that describe the wacky behavior of photons, electrons and the other subatomic particles that make up the universe.

The Bohr model is a neat but quite imperfect depiction of the inner workings of an atom before things got too muddled up by quantum principles.

One hundred years after Niels Bohr published his model of the atom, a special issue of Nature explores its legacy — and how much there is still to learn about atomic structure.

Researchers in Korea have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) technology that predicts molecular properties by learning ...

Carbon dioxide’s powerful heat-trapping effect has been traced to a quirk of its quantum structure. The finding may explain climate change better than any computer model.

Although forcing the atom into a squeezed state doesn't actually transfer any energy, it does mean that the pulsating atom is (because of a quantum mechanical quirk) on average slightly bigger ...

Quantum mechanical modeling ... and activation energy. Overall, QMM helps understand, describe, and model the structure and properties of nanomaterials. 2. Among several QMM methods, the embedded atom ...
