When building an atom, pay close attention to the particles' electrical charges. Protons have a charge of +1. Electrons have a charge of -1. Neutrons are neutral, as their name implies. A stable atom ...

A new single-atom magnet developed by researchers in Switzerland provides tech companies an opportunity to create smaller yet longer-lasting magnetic storage devices such as memory cards and hard ...

Windows/Mac/Linux: Atom, GitHub’s free text editor, has been toiling away in beta builds for a while now. Today, it’s officially available as a stable version. Atom is still open source and still ...

Researchers develop a simple method to build stable, atom-thick metal layers using tiny defects in carbon, enabling efficient use of metals across technologies. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Using metals in ...

Physics has seven magic numbers. An atom with a magic number of protons or neutrons is super stable. When both the protons and neutrons are magic, that’s a double magic atom. There are only six of ...

The open source text editor, Atom – which is similar to Sublime Text in style and function – has received a new update, version 1.20. The update is available for anyone on the stable channel and ...

Atom-waves interferometers are becoming ever more compact. A new way of coherently splitting atom waves, based on radiofrequency fields, could extend the capabilities of these miniature atom traps.
