Researchers have made a precise measurement of the size of the proton -- a crucial step towards solving a mystery that has preoccupied scientists around the world for the past decade. The world's ...

Puzzling problem: Karsten Schuhmann (left) and Aldo Antognini of the Paul Scherrer Institute inspect the laser system that was used for the laser spectroscopy measurements on muonic deuterium.

I don't know where he got this idea (surely not from the internet), but Eratosthenes estimated the radius of the Earth by looking at two shadows at two different locations on the Earth. This diagram ...

A discrepancy in the measured size of the “deuteron” increases the chance that something is amiss in our understanding of atoms. The same group that discovered a curious discrepancy in measurements of ...

Using the first new method in half a century for measuring the size of the proton via electron scattering, scientists have produced a new value for the proton's radius in a new experiment. Using the ...

TORONTO, September 5, 2019 - York University researchers have made a precise measurement of the size of the proton - a crucial step towards solving a mystery that has preoccupied scientists around the ...
