The dreamy ‘watermelon’ aurora borealis danced above South Indian Lake, Manitoba, on the evening of Wednesday,2. Rj Roldan captured this timelapse video and posted it to X with the caption, “Witnessed ...

Scientists introduced atomic defects in spinel using cerium, and voilà! The gemstone became a solid qubit system.

As the Earth is buffeted by a stream escaping from a hole in the sun, those in the northernmost states may be in for a treat.

Scientists have explored various catalytic materials to overcome these challenges, with single metal atoms coordinated to nitrogen atoms on carbon supports (M-Nx/C) showing particular promise. These ...

A small town mayor in New Zealand has picked a nuclear fight with Donald Trump, after the freshly sworn-in U.S. president heaped praise on American scientists for splitting the atom. The mayor of ...

This is despite the fact New Zealander Ernest Rutherford was the first person to initiate an artificial nuclear reaction when he “split the atom” in ... by bombarding nitrogen nuclei with ...

“Keep the historic[al] record on who split the atom first accurate,” Smith said ... induce a nuclear reaction by bombarding nitrogen nuclei with alpha particles.” Trump pronounced the ...

(Image: Adapted with permission by Wiley-VCH Verlag) The research team built a device that places this quantum dot solution between two electrical contacts – a single-atom-thick layer ... strongly to ...

In 1919, Rutherford went a step further, successfully disintegrating the nucleus of a nitrogen atom by firing alpha particles, thereby producing oxygen atoms and free protons. This was the first ...
