"We show what happens in a tiny molecular system where there is no place for the protons to hide," said Johnson, the Arthur T. Kemp Professor of Chemistry in Yale's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and ...

A collaboration of nuclear theorists has used supercomputers to predict the spatial distributions of charges, momentum, and other properties of 'up' and 'down' quarks within protons. The calculations ...

Scientists have now mapped the forces acting inside a proton, showing in unprecedented detail how quarks -- the tiny particles within -- respond when hit by high-energy photons. The international team ...

The simplicity of a hydrogen atom makes it an ideal model for studying atomic structure and interactions. Yet, despite the ...

Being able to see inside an object is essential to understanding how it works. X-rays revolutionized medicine by giving doctors a noninvasive way to look beneath the skin — to spot broken bones, ...

Scientists found that radiotherapy using high-energy proton particles instead of X-rays helped avoid damage to important brain regions. Sign up for the top news stories every day to keep you informed ...

A number of advanced energy technologies—including fuel cells, electrolyzers, and an emerging class of low-power electronics—use protons as the key charge carrier. Whether or not these devices will be ...

New Haven, Conn. — The movement of protons through electrically charged water is one of the most fundamental processes in chemistry. It is evident in everything from eyesight to energy storage to ...
