Atomic Archive
Very comprehensive and fascinating site covering the history of the invention of the atomic bomb and its consequences with biographies, videos and animations of nuclear physics.
Atomic Clock
Very accurate clocks can be constructed by locking an electronic oscillator to the frequency of an atomic transition. The frequencies associated with such transitions are so reproducible that the ...
Atomic Bomb
Brief description of an atomic bomb from Eric Weisstein's World of Physics.
Atomic Number
In the modern periodic table, the elements are actually arranged in order of increasing atomic number--that's the number of protons in one atom of a particular element.
How Atomic Clocks Work
A brief description of how Atomic Clocks work. This site is part of Marshall Brain's HowStuffWorks.com.
Eugene Paul Wigner
Eugene Wigner received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1963 along with J. Hans D. Jensen and Maria Goeppert Mayer for their theory of the atomic nuclei and the elementary particles. They are based on ...
Maria Goeppert-Mayer
Maria Goeppert Mayer (1906 - 1971) received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1963 along with Eugene Wigner and J. Hans D. Jensen for their theory of the atomic nuclei and the elementary particles. They ...
Robert Hofstadter
Robert Hofstadter (1915 - 1990) developed a new experimental method for the investigation of the inner structure of atomic nuclei. His method was to bombard the atomic nuclei with electrons of very ...
Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics
A collection of pages from Cornell University concerning atomic and solid state physics.
Atomic Spectra Databases
The database contains data for transitions and energy levels in atoms and atomic ions, including transitions of 99 elements and energy levels of 51 elements.
