Physicists propose experiencing quantum effects firsthand by shrinking to atomic size; however, this is impossible due to the insurmountable density resulting from compressing a human's atoms into the ...

To find out how much bigger one object is than another, divide the larger value by the smaller. Molecules are made from between 2 and several hundred atoms, so they are larger than the atoms which ...

Since at least 2016, a rumor has circulated online that "a speck of dust is halfway between the size of" an atom and Earth. However, Wendy Taylor, a particle physicist and professor of physics and ...

Scientists in Australia claim to have created a transistor the size of a single atom, opening the way for the next generation of nano technology. The microscopic device is made of a single phosphorus ...
