A mysterious force called the strong interaction, which is about 100 times stronger than electromagnetism, is what binds protons and neutrons together in nuclei.

Protons are tiny subatomic particles that, along with neutrons, form the nucleus of an atom. The heavier the atom, the more protons (and neutrons) it contains.

The film discusses the dual nature of atomic energy, likening it to the sun, which can both sustain and destroy life. It explains the structure of atoms and the process of nuclear fission, leading ...

Atoms are the fundamental components of matter, made up of three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. The structure of atoms determines the properties and behavior of different ...

Scientists have long wondered whether there is a limit to the number of protons and neutrons that can be clustered together to form the nucleus of an atom. A new study comes closer than ever to ...
