  2. Atomic nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_nucleus

    The diameter of the nucleus is in the range of 1.70 fm (1.70 × 10 −15 m [7]) for hydrogen (the diameter of a single proton) to about 11.7 fm for uranium. [8] These dimensions are much smaller than the diameter of the atom itself (nucleus + electron cloud), by a factor of about 26,634 (uranium atomic radius is about 156 pm ( 156 × 10 −12 m ...

  3. HIARCS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIARCS

    HIARCS is a proprietary UCI chess engine developed by Mark Uniacke. [1] Its name is an acronym standing for higher intelligence auto-response chess system.Because Hiarcs is written portable in C, it is available on multiple platforms such as Pocket PC, Palm OS, PDAs, iOS, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.

  4. Atomism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomism

    That ammonia is a binary compound of hydrogen and azote nitrogen, and the relative weights of the two atoms are as 1:5, nearly... Dalton concluded that the fixed proportions of elements by weight suggested that the atoms of one element combined with only a limited number of atoms of the other elements to form the substances that he listed.

  5. Nuclide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclide

    A nuclide is a species of an atom with a specific number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, for example carbon-13 with 6 protons and 7 neutrons. The nuclide concept (referring to individual nuclear species) emphasizes nuclear properties over chemical properties, while the isotope concept (grouping all atoms of each element) emphasizes ...

  6. Atomic clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_clock

    Whereas a hydrogen atom moves at 1,600 m/s at room temperature and a nitrogen atom moves at 510 m/s, a caesium atom moves at a much slower speed of 130 m/s due to its greater mass. [ 65 ] [ 10 ] The hyperfine frequency of caesium (~9.19 GHz) is also higher than other elements such as rubidium (~6.8 GHz) and hydrogen (~1.4 GHz). [ 10 ]

  7. Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obninsk_Nuclear_Power_Plant

    The plant is also known as APS-1 Obninsk (Atomic Power Station 1 Obninsk). It remained in operation between 1954 and 2002. It remained in operation between 1954 and 2002. Its production of electricity for the grid ceased in 2002; thereafter it functioned as a research and isotope production plant only.

  8. Dalton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalton_(unit)

    The dalton or unified atomic mass unit (symbols: Da or u, respectively) is a unit of mass defined as ⁠ 1 / 12 ⁠ of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 in its nuclear and electronic ground state and at rest. [1] [2] [3] It is a non-SI unit accepted for use with SI.

  9. Alpha decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_decay

    An alpha particle with a speed of 1.5×10 7 m/s within a nuclear diameter of approximately 10 −14 m will collide with the barrier more than 10 21 times per second. However, if the probability of escape at each collision is very small, the half-life of the radioisotope will be very long, since it is the time required for the total probability ...
