He suggested that an atom was a tiny solid ball. He published his ideas in 1803. This atomic model has changed over time. Scientists used the model to make predictions. Sometimes the results of ...

In 1913, Niels Bohr revised Rutherford's model by suggesting that the electrons ... However, there was still a difference between the atomic number of the atom and the atomic mass.

Bohr went on to make enormous contributions to physics and, like Rutherford, to train a new generation of physicists. But his atomic model remains the best known work of a very long career.

An international research collaboration led by the University of Surrey's Nuclear Physics Group has overturned the ...

An international research collaboration has overturned the long-standing belief that the atomic nucleus of lead-208 is perfectly spherical. The discovery challenges fundamental assumptions about ...

Atomic nuclei exhibit multiple energy scales simultaneously—ranging from hundreds down to fractions of a megaelectronvolt. A ...
