RSSMechanics
Mechanics can be seen as the
prime, and even as the
original, discipline of
physics. It is a huge body
of knowledge about the
natural world. It also
constitutes a central part
of technology. ... > full story
Quantum number
A quantum number describes
the energies of electrons in
atoms. Each quantum number
specifies the value of a
conserved quantity in the
dynamics of the quantum
system. Since any quantum
system can have one or more

Hydrogen-like atom
Hydrogen-like atoms (or
hydrogenic atoms) are atoms
with one single electron.
Like the hydrogen atom,
hydrogen-like atoms are one
of the few quantum
mechanical problems which
can be exactly solved. ... > full story
List of phases of matter
This is a list of the
different phases of matter
including the more exotic
ones. Generally phases of
matter are distinguished by
the pressure and
temperature, transforming

Scanning tunneling microscope
The scanning tunneling microscope or STM, was invented in 1981 by Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer of IBM's Zurich Lab in Zurich, Switzerland. t is used to obtain images of conductive surfaces at an ... > more -
Atomic orbital
Atomic orbitals are the quantum states of the individual electrons in the electron cloud around a single atom. Specifically, atomic orbitals are the quantum states of the individual electrons in the ... > more -
Quantum entanglement
Quantum entanglement is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which the quantum states of two or more objects have to be described with reference to each other, even though the individual objects may be ... > more -
Quantum tunnelling
Quantum tunnelling (or tunneling) is the quantum-mechanical effect of transitioning through a classically-forbidden energy state. Consider rolling a ball up a hill. If the ball is not given enough ... > more -
Quantum computer
A quantum computer is any device for computation that makes direct use of distinctively quantum mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. In a ... > more -
Subatomic particle
A subatomic particle is a particle smaller than an atom: it may be elementary or composite. Particle physics and nuclear physics concern themselves with the study of these particles, their ... > more -
Electron configuration
In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, molecule, or other physical structure (e.g., a crystal). Like other elementary ... > more -
Schrodinger's cat
Schrödinger's cat is a seemingly paradoxical thought experiment devised by Erwin Schrödinger that attempts to illustrate the incompleteness of an early interpretation of quantum mechanics ... > more -
Spin (physics)
In physics, spin refers to the angular momentum intrinsic to a body, as opposed to orbital angular momentum, which is generated by the motion of its center of mass about an external ... > more
