In addition, innovative Penning trap experiments focused on the deuteron and HD+ molecular ions have not only recalibrated the atomic mass scale but also established critical links among various ...

In a transparent medium, each photon is accompanied by an atomic mass density wave, scientists can demonstrate. The optical force of the photon sets the medium atoms in motion and makes them carry ...

Atomic and Molecular Laser Spectroscopy Laboratory The objective of the research in the atomic and molecular laser spectroscopy laboratory is to gain knowledge about the basic properties of ions and ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...

Using the newly developed Bρ-defined isochronous mass spectroscopy technique, they determined the masses of several exotic atomic nuclei, including silicon-23, phosphorus-26, sulfur-27, and argon ...
