The Intel Atom processor is designed for basic mobile computing with longer battery life. It may not have multimedia capabilities and runs slowly for high-end programs. Its small size and affordable price are its advantages. The Intel® Atom processor is a computer processor specifically designed to meet the needs of basic mobile computing users. The […]
Particle accelerators, colloquially known as “atom smashers,” accelerate particles to significant fractions of the speed of light to probe their internal structure. They are key tools used by physicists to explore the “inner space” of the atom. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the most expensive and largest technological construct ever built, located in a […]
An atomic bomb splits atoms through nuclear fission, creating a devastating explosion. It was invented during WWII as a result of an arms race. The US dropped two bombs on Japan, leading to their surrender. The manufacturing process requires enriched uranium or plutonium to reach critical mass. The bomb produces gamma radiation and fallout. Countries […]
