Many atoms consist of a positively charged nucleus composed of protons and neutrons surrounded by a negatively charged cloud of electrons. At its most basic level, an atom is any particle of matter that contains at least one proton. ... Here are some examples of atoms:Neon (Ne)Hydrogen (H...
The technology makes the cost of mass surveillance ever cheaper for those that profit by it. And society insists that you must be part of the mass surveilled at your own expense or be an outcast. The thing is that few even who read this blog, realise that we are, “Sleep walking into ...
the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus is called the mass number. This is because each proton and each neutron weigh one atomic mass unit (amu).By adding together the number of protons and neutrons and multiplying by 1 amu, you can calculate the mass of the atom...
The Oh-My-God particle is probably a proton, or at least proton-like — fairly massive on the scale of subatomic particles. A neutrino's mass is at least 10 billion times smaller than a proton's, so thanks to the basic laws of physics, it can travel even faster if given the same ...
But first things first — what’s a hadron??!! A hadron is any particle that is made from quarks, anti-quarks and gluons. (If you want to learn more about quarks and gluons, start here.) The most famous example of a hadron is a proton, which I have described in detail here, and...
The October 21, 2022, issue of Food & Function published the finding of a team from Edith Cowan University’s Nutrition and Health Innovation Research Institute and the University of Western Australia of an association between higher intake of vitamin K1 and a lower risk of hip fracture. The...

All mass creates gravity and pulls things toward it. Here on Earth, we always feel a pull toward the center of the Earth (top), so it might seem as though there’s something special down there. In reality, we’re experiencing the collective pull of every...
The reverse process (kill an electron, convert a proton to a neutron) can happen, too. The detector material gets activated and some of those isotopes have very long lifetimes, so the final product (as in: when you shut down the LHC) is not always stable.*there are searches for baryon...
