X-Raying a Single Atom for the First Time Becomes Possible

Back in the 1920s, when brilliant minds such as Richard Feynman, Paul Dirac, or Niels Bohr were desperately trying to understand the atom, they rapidly figured out one disturbing fact: atoms are so defiant and unique that they cannot be…

Protons Can Be of Different Sizes Depending on How the Beholder Looks at Them

Protons, the positively charged particles that make up the nuclei of atoms, can exhibit strange and unexpected behavior. For example, scientists have observed that protons can seemingly disappear in certain conditions, only to reappear later on. This phenomenon is known…

Pulling Quantum Energy From a Vacuum Becomes Possible

Quantum entanglement is like having two magic balls that are connected by a magical string. No matter how far apart you move them when you do something to one ball, the other ball feels it too, and they react as…
