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 ...

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 ...

Source code repository company GitHub today released version 1.0 of its Atom text editor for working with code. Contributors to the Atom open-source project have made several improvements to the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have shown that single platinum atoms trapped in C12A7 crystals act as a stable and effective catalyst for the hydrogenation of nitroarenes, an essential process in the production of many ...
