      Atoms are the building blocks of matter, and everything around us is made up of atoms. They are the basic units of chemical elements, and are composed of subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus, which is located at the center of the atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus in shells or energy levels. The number of protons in an atom's nucleus is what determines its identity as a specific element. For example, an atom with six protons is a carbon atom, while an atom with eight protons is an oxygen atom. The number of neutrons in the nucleus can vary, giving rise to different isotopes of the same element. Isotopes have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons, which affects their properties and behavior. Electrons are negatively charged particles that are attracted to the positively charged protons in the nucleus. The electrons occupy different energy levels or shells around the nucleus, with the innermost shell closest to the nucleus and the outermost shell furthest away. The number of electrons in the outermost shell determines the atom's chemical properties and how it will interact with other atoms. Atoms can gain or lose electrons to form ions, which are charged particles. If an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion, while if it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion. Ions can then interact with other ions or neutral atoms to form chemical compounds. The study of atoms and their behavior falls under the branch of physics known as atomic physics. Atomic physicists use various experimental and theoretical methods to study the properties and behavior of atoms, including spectroscopy, which involves analyzing the interaction between light and matter. In conclusion, atoms are the fundamental units of matter, and the study of their behavior is an important area of physics research. Understanding how atoms interact and combine to form different compounds is crucial to many scientific and technological fields, including chemistry, materials science, and engineering.

Physicists observe a new form of magnetism for the first time

MIT physicists have demonstrated a new form of magnetism that could one day be harnessed to build faster, denser, and less power-hungry " spintronic " memory chips. The new magnetic state is a mash-up of two main forms of magnetism: the ferromagnetism of everyday fridge magnets and compass needles, and antiferromagnetism, in which materials have magnetic properties at the microscale yet are not macroscopically magnetized. Now, the MIT team has demonstrated a new form of magnetism , termed "p-wave magnetism." Physicists have long observed that electrons of atoms in regular ferromagnets share the same orientation of "spin," like so many tiny compasses pointing in the same direction. This spin alignment generates a magnetic field, which gives a ferromagnet its inherent magnetism. Electrons belonging to magnetic atoms in an antiferromagnet also have spin, although these spins alternate, with electrons orbiting neighboring atoms aligning their spins antiparalle...

Freezing light? Italian scientists froze fastest thing in universe, here’s how

In a rare occurrence, physics made it possible to control the fastest travelling element - light. Italian scientists have managed to freeze the light, as per reports. A recent study published in a British weekly journal reportedly revealed that light can exhibit ‘ supersolid behavior ’ a unique state of matter that flows without friction while retaining a solid-like structure. The research, led by Antonio Gianfate from CNR Nanotec and Davide Nigro from the University of Pavia, marks a significant step in understanding supersolidity in light. The scientists described their findings as “just the beginning” of this exploration, as per reports. In what can be termed as ‘manipulating photons under controlled quantum conditions ’, the scientists demonstrated that light, too, can exhibit this behaviour. (A photon is a bundle of electromagnetic energy which is massless, and travel at the speed of light) How did scientists freeze light? As we know, freezing involves lowering a liquid’s tempera...
