The study authors at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) performed an interesting experiment involving a Titanium atom (Ti-47) to store and read quantum information from its nucleus.

Today, this model is known as the quantum model or the electron cloud model. The inner orbitals surrounding the atom are spherical but the outer orbitals are much more complicated.

Physicists have created the first-ever atomic vortex beam — a swirling tornado of atoms and molecules with mysterious properties that have yet to be understood.

The world's biggest atom smasher -- the $10 billion Large Hadron Collider that straddles the Swiss-French border -- set another record today by colliding protons at three times the previous record ...

Scientists have previously created several micro-engines consisting of a mere 10,000 particles, Roßnagel’s new engine blows these out of the water by paring down the machine to a singular atom housed ...

One hundred years ago, Ernest Rutherford decided to shoot some stuff at atoms and toppled then-current atomic theory. Physicist and blogger Rhett Allain walks through the rise of six atomic models.

The Bohr model is a neat but quite imperfect depiction of the inner workings of an atom before things got too muddled up by quantum principles.

Thomson took the idea of the atom and tried to incorporate the evidence for the electron. In this model, the electrons are the small things and the rest of the stuff is some positive matter.
