An orbital structure is the space in an atom that’s occupied by an electron. But when describing these super-microscopic properties of matter, scientists have had to rely on wave functions — a ...

What lies within the H atom? Experimental observation of the transverse nodal structure of four atomic hydrogen Stark states. The images in the middle show experimental measurements. Interference ...

If a single, solitary atom of anti-hydrogen annihilated in the room you're in, would you notice anything? Would it be bad for you?

We apply Dirac's method of quantization in the presence of a constraint to the hydrogen atom described by the R⁴ coordinates of Kustaanheimo and Stiefel. We show that the energy levels and their ...

Scientists have captured the first ever photo of an electron’s whizzing orbit within a hydrogen atom, thanks to a unique new microscopy technique.
