  2. Atom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom

    This number was chosen so that if an element has an atomic mass of 1 u, a mole of atoms of that element has a mass close to one gram. Because of the definition of the unified atomic mass unit , each carbon-12 atom has an atomic mass of exactly 12 Da, and so a mole of carbon-12 atoms weighs exactly 0.012 kg.

  3. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    The Jiffy is the amount of time light takes to travel one femtometre (about the diameter of a nucleon). The Planck time is the time that light takes to travel one Planck length. The TU (for time unit) is a unit of time defined as 1024 μs for use in engineering. The svedberg is a time unit used for sedimentation rates (usually

  4. Half time (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_time_(physics)

    The voltage (v) on the capacitor (C) changes with time as the capacitor is charged or discharged via the resistor (R) In electronics, when a capacitor is charged or discharged via a resistor, the voltage on the capacitor follows the above formula, with the half time approximately equal to 0.69 times the time constant, which is equal to the product of the resistance and the capacitance.

  5. Atom (time) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(time)

    One of the earliest occurrences of the word "atom" to mean the smallest possible unit of measuring time is found in the Greek text of the New Testament in Paul's 1 Corinthians 15:52. The text compares the length of time of the “atom” to the time needed for "the twinkling of an eye."

  6. Moscovium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscovium

    The electron of the hydrogen-like moscovium atom (oxidized so that it only has one electron, Mc 114+) is expected to move so fast that it has a mass 1.82 times that of a stationary electron, due to relativistic effects. For comparison, the figures for hydrogen-like bismuth and antimony are expected to be 1.25 and 1.077 respectively.

  7. Atomic clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_clock

    The relative times are mathematically transformed into three absolute spatial coordinates and one absolute time coordinate. [106] GPS Time (GPST) is a continuous time scale and theoretically accurate to about 14 nanoseconds. [107] However, most receivers lose accuracy in the interpretation of the signals and are only accurate to 100 nanoseconds.

    Fairly quickly, the scientists were able to detect the existence of Strontium and Yttrium, confirming exactly where those elements come from for the very first time. It also resulted in the ...

  9. Ionization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionization

    Ionization or ionisation is the process by which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or positive charge by gaining or losing electrons, often in conjunction with other chemical changes. The resulting electrically charged atom or molecule is called an ion.
