This computer-generated visualization shows the wavelike pattern of a “quantum handshake” between a hydrogen atom emitting energy and another atom receiving the energy. (J. Cramer and C. Mead ...

Quantum mechanics is simultaneously beautiful and frustrating. Its explanatory power is unmatched. Armed with the machinery of quantum theory, we have unlocked the secrets of atomic power, divined ...

The first direct observation of the orbital structure of an excited hydrogen atom has been made by an international team of researchers. The observation was made using a newly developed “quantum ...

Some people claim that quantum physics is too arcane and remote to have practical applications, but modern life would be impossible without our understanding of the quantum nature of light and matter.

When it comes to quantum mechanics, confinement is not ... below we’ve shown the radial wiggles of a few of the notes in hydrogen. ... it is hard to image the electron waves within an atom, ...

The bubbling, raucous quantum vacuum distorts the shape of every hydrogen atom in the universe, and it distorts antimatter "antihydrogen" too. Mysterious 'antihydrogen' particles reveal uncanny ...

The bubbling, raucous quantum vacuum distorts the shape of every hydrogen atom in the universe, and it distorts antimatter "antihydrogen" too.

Quantum mechanics 100 years on: ... Pauli’s successful calculation 5 of the hydrogen atom spectrum using the scheme in December that year was widely regarded as a vindication of the effort.

Tauonium, composed of a tauon and its antiparticle, has a Bohr radius of only 30.4 femtometers (1 femtometer = 10-15 meters), approximately 1/1,741 of the Bohr radius of a hydrogen atom.
