The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other.

For the first time, researchers have reported a 3D metal-organic framework (MOF) that can conduct both electrons and protons (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2024, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c13792 ). Materials mixing ...

Since the electron has a large magnetic moment, this state will contribute considerably to the magnetic moment of the proton. Since, however, the β-decay constant is exceedingly small in nuclear ...

There are striking similarities between how elementary particles come together to form atoms, molecules and eventually ...

When two hydrogen atoms get close enough, the electron from each atom feels an attraction from the proton in the other atom's nucleus. This attraction pulls the atoms together. The electrons end up ...

Electron–proton collisions Study reveals importance of entanglement entropy. (Courtesy: Kevin Coughlin/Brookhaven National Laboratory) An international team of physicists has used the principle of ...

Einstein may have been troubled enough by entanglement to call it "spooky action at a distance" but scientists have discovered it operates at small scales between quarks and gluons in protons.
