A group of scientists from the University of Ottawa has made important progress in their understanding of ionization, a basic ...

Researchers have for the first time measured the first ionization energy of lawrencium, the last of the actinides, validating predictions of the element’s electronic structure (Nature 2015, DOI: ...

Not all smoke detectors are equal, and the type of smoke detector installed in many homes might not sound off in all fires. Smoke alarm manufacturers sell alarms with two types of technology.
