Time Dilation
A clock in a moving frame will be seen to be running slow, or "dilated" according to the Lorentz transformation.
Atomic Archive
Very comprehensive and fascinating site covering the history and science of the atomic bomb with biographies, videos and animations of nuclear physics.
Atomic spectra
Basic page on the theory of how light is made when electrons in specific atomic energy levels move to give photons.
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.
Atomic structure
Information on the basic structure of atoms, and an overview of our historical understanding of atomic structure.
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 ...
What are sub-atomic particles?
short video explaining subatomic particles, elements and compounds. It shows how the atom is composed of sub-atomic particles such as electrons, protons and neutrons and how protons and neutrons are ...
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 ...
