Why did they form at that time? Astronomers know from observing distant exploding stars that the size of the universe has ...

In some sense, what you might have suspected from the first day of high-school chemistry is true: The periodic table is a colossal waste of time. Nine out of every 10 atoms in the universe are ...

AN ATOM’S electrons are an ever-shifting quantum melee, but it turns out you can still take their photograph as if they were standing still. A quantum-style microscope has imaged the hydrogen atom’s ...

Anti-hydrogen is the antimatter equivalent of the hydrogen atom. The simplest atom in our Universe, hydrogen is usually made of a single proton and a single electron. Hydrogen is also one of the most ...

Germany wants to become the world leader in hydrogen technology as it strives to spearhead a drive to meet its energy needs with the most abundant element in the universe. Here's what's so astonishing ...

In some ways it’s a shame human beings ever figured out how the sun works. If we hadn’t figured that out, we never would have learned how nuclear fusion works. And if we hadn’t learned that, we wouldn ...

Although hydrogen is the lightweight of the chemical elements, it packs a real punch when it comes to its role in life and its potential as a solution to some of the world’s challenges. As we ...

A new single-atom catalyst can produce hydrogen from urea at an exceptional rate. Liquid nitrogen quenching introduces tensile-strain on the surface of oxide support, stabilizing ultra-high loading of ...
