Heaviest known calcium atom discovered Eight new rare isotopes discovered in total Date: July 12, 2018 ... is interested in the comparison of the new discoveries to nuclear models.

Calcium ions enable cells to communicate with one another, allowing neurons to interact, muscles to contract, and the heart's muscle cells to synchronize and beat.

step 1. the team traps a single atom in a cone of electromagnetic energy from which the atom cannot escape. You can think of this cone as essentially a tightly-fit engine housing. For this experiment ...

Physicists in Switzerland are turning to a new method in the search for nature’s possible fifth force—one that might explain some of the universe’s greatest mysteries. Their work centers on atomic ...

Bohr’s Model of an Atom: Students get to know the Bohr’s Model of an Atom. Find out what are its limitations and the postulates it is based on.

"We're using a calcium-40 ion," Roßnagel says, "but in principle the engine could be built with just about any ion at all." This electromagnetic cone is essentially the engine's housing, and ...

Roßnagel proposed the theoretical design of his one-atom engine in a scientific paper back in 2014.Now that he's finally built the thing, it works almost exactly as he said it would.

Powered by a single electrically-charged calcium atom, the new device is claimed to have the equivalent thermodynamic efficiency (if scaled to size) of an average automobile engine.
