...after WW II. Ottaviani and Purvis take care to explain the concepts behind Bohr's multiple scientific breakthroughs, making the book a kind of illustrated primer on atomic physics. It was Bohr, for example, who proposed a model of the atom as a kind of mini solar system, with electrons orbiting around a nucleus. But this had its limits, both experimentally and "philosophically." So he moved to introduce Quantum Mechanics as a system of atomic theories best known for its postulation that the act of observing something affects the results of that observation. An electron, for example, which exhibits behaviors...

...career, playing these same mildly-pleasant melodies is nothing short of redundant. The single “Leaving New York” paints a sepulchral image with a sweeping chorus that uses Stipe’s vocals to the fullest. It, alongside the oppressively peppy “Electron Blue,” which comes off somewhere between Radiohead and a Celtic James Taylor, makes up the album’s creative peak. But their striving for innovation leads them astray on “The Outsiders,” a bizarre didactic tale featuring some weird, tangentially connected...

That's why there has been so much attention given lately to a noninvasive test called electron beam computed tomography (EBCT). It uses a burst of X rays to show how much calcium has been deposited in the coronary arteries--a good measure of how much plaque has accumulated there. In a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, more than half of 1,119 patients who passed their stress tests had high calcium scores in subsequent EBCTs, suggesting significant hardening of the arteries...

First, Gabrielse used lasers to excite the electron in a cesium atom into a higher orbit. When the cesium atom collides with a positron, the electron binds with the positron, to create an atom that is half matter and half antimatter. When that atom collides with an antiproton, the positron binds to the antiproton, forming an antihydrogen atom...
