Atomic number, the number of a chemical element in the periodic system, whereby the elements are arranged in order of increasing number of protons in the nucleus. Accordingly, the number of protons, which is always equal to the number of electrons in a n
I Twentieth-Century History The foundations of both modern nuclear physics and modern atomic physics were established by Ernest (Lord) Rutherford through a series of celebrated experiments first published in 1911. He used alpha particles from naturally radioactive emitters as projectiles to bombard a ...
This number was chosen when the SI second was redefined for the last time in 1967 to match with the previous definition. If we look at the history of timekeeping and compare clocks as different as sun dials, pendulum clocks, and quartz clocks, it is obvious that they get more accurate as...

Based on the history of manufacturing development, Fang formally proposed three phases of manufacturing advances [6, 7]:Manufacturing I: Craft-based manufacturing by hand, as in the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages, in which manufacturing precision is at the millimeter scale.Manufacturing II: ...

To us, the Carmpan watchers, the withdrawn seers and touchers of minds, it appeared that you had carried the crushing weight of war through all your history knowing that it would at last be needed, that this hour would strike when nothing less awful would serve. When the hour struck and...
with an assigned value of 16. The unit of atomic mass was thereby defined as1/16the mass of an oxygen atom. In 1929 it was discovered that natural oxygen contains small amounts of two isotopes slightly heavier than the mostabundantone and that the number 16 represented a weighted average of...
