The lifelike avatar looks like a human, but the demo was wooden and robotic. Neon was created by Samsung's Star Labs -- a research lab functioning as an independent company under Samsung.

If an atom could be enlarged such that we could see it with the naked eye, what would it look like? This question was originally answered on Quora by Dave Consiglio.

Scientists at ETH Zurich have developed a powerful method to look deep inside single-atom catalysts—materials where every ...

A neon lamp appears to be a specific shade of orange because of transitions between energy levels in neon atoms which fall in the red-orange-yellow region of the spectrum.

Neon lamps are fun to play with. These old-school indicators were once heavily utilized in many types of equipment for indication purposes but now seem largely relegated to mains voltage ...

An electric charge excites the neon, and the neon atoms give off light as they return to their neutral state, similar to the way neon signs work, according to the University of California, Santa ...

Neon signs look cool as hell, there’s no denying. Ain’t nothing more retro than a glowing tube in the shape of a cocktail, but how do neon lights work?

For the first time, scientists have measured electrons tunnelling their way out of atoms. Each escape happened amazingly quickly, in less than a billionth of a millionth of a second.

The world’s most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, is entering exciting new territory. For the first time ever, the LHC is smashing together protons and oxygen ...
