Atomic number

Nevertheless, in spite of Rutherford's estimation that gold had a central charge of about 100 (but was element Z = 79 on the periodic table), a month after Rutherford's paper appeared, Antonius van den Broek first formally suggested that the central charge and number of electrons in an atom was exactly equal to its place in the periodic table (also known as element number, atomic number, and symbolized Z).

Discovery and development of triptans

Side chains of the surrounding amino acids can have an effect on the binding of the nitrogen atom, mainly three Phe can affect the methyl groups bound to the nitrogen atom (not shown in figure 2).

Empirical relationship

Proposed in 1876, it perfectly predicted the wavelengths of the Lyman series, but lacked a theoretical basis until Niels Bohr produced his Bohr model of the atom in 1925.

Extended metal atom chains

The first EMACs with three metal atoms were synthesized in the early 1990s independently by the groups of Shie-Ming Peng (NTU) and F. Albert Cotton (Texas A&M), who coined the term extended metal atom chains.

Faceless Hunters

Oregon Highway Patrolmen Bob Colby and Jim Boone are assigned to Mount Rushmore, and confront Klee Pan, who explains that he 'comes from Klaramar - a world revolving within an atom on the planet Saturn' and he is looking for a stone face left on Earth millennia ago which can help prevent Saturn exploding.

Fact–value distinction

Positive statements make the implicit claim to facts (e.g., water molecules are made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom), whereas normative statements make a claim based on values or norms (e.g., water ought to be protected from pollution).

Hydrogen atom

The solution of the Schrödinger equation (wave equations) for the hydrogen atom uses the fact that the Coulomb potential produced by the nucleus is isotropic (it is radially symmetric in space and only depends on the distance to the nucleus).

John J. Mooney

While serving in the United States Army from 1955 to 1956, Mooney was assigned to a series of nuclear tests in the Pacific Ocean at Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands, which included 17 atom bomb and two hydrogen bomb tests.

John Pethica

The 2001 recipient of the Hughes Medal of the Royal Society of London, Pethica is most noted for his work on the development of atom resolution atomic force microscopy.

Livermorium

On July 19, 2000, scientists at Dubna (JINR) detected a single decay from an atom of livermorium following the irradiation of a Cm-248 target with Ca-48 ions.

Macromolecular complex

Coordination complex, also called macromolecular metal complex, is a complex of atom or usually metallic ion and a surrounding array of bound molecules or anions, which are known as ligands.

Mad Atom Games

Mad Atom is a game development studio founded in October 2011 and based in Brighton, UK.

Middle World

Middle World, a term coined by Richard Dawkins, is used to describe the realm between the microscopic world of quarks and atoms and the larger view of the universe at the galactic and universal level.

Mongul

When The Reach and Captain Atom learn that Mongul and his Warworld are heading to Earth, they both attempt to negotiate with Mongul, who ignores them.

Nuklon

He took the Atom Smasher identity shortly before the re-founding of the Justice Society of America, of which he was a charter member.

Octahedral molecular geometry

The octahedron has eight faces, hence the prefix octa. The octahedron is one of the Platonic solids, although octahedral molecules typically have an atom in their centre and no bonds between the ligand atoms.

Oh, Manhattan

Their first self released EP was entitled "We're All Sons Of Bitches Now" which was a play on words spoken by Kenneth Bainbridge in reference to the first atom bomb.

Organouranium chemistry

In 1968, the group of Andrew Streitwieser prepared the stable but pyrophoric compound uranocene (COT)2U which has an atom of uranium sandwiched between two cyclooctatetraenide anions (D8h molecular symmetry).

Our Friend the Atom

"Our Friend the Atom" is a 1957 episode of the television series Disneyland describing the benefits of atomic power.

Ramachandran plot

Glycine has only a hydrogen atom for its side chain, with a much smaller van der Waals radius than the CH3, CH2, or CH group that starts all other amino acids.

Rıza Çalımbay

Because of his determination and hard work he was nicknamed Atom Ant (in Turkish, "Atom Karınca").

Robert Sayre

He wrote "Atom: The Standard in Syndication," an article published in the July/August 2005 issue of the journal IEEE Internet Computing, and is a former developer of a Mac client for the Soulseek file-sharing service.

Rutherford model

The US minor league baseball Albuquerque Isotopes' logo is a Rutherford atom, with the electron orbits forming an A.

There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom

In "The Tree of Time", a short story published in 1964, Damon Knight uses the idea of a barrier which has to be constructed atom by atom (a time barrier, in the story).

Unit fraction

The energy levels of photons that can be absorbed or emitted by a hydrogen atom are, according to the Rydberg formula, proportional to the differences of two unit fractions.

Up An' Atom

While at Tinian, Marquadt and crew B-10 flew Up An' Atom on eight training and practice bombing missions and pumpkin bomb missions against industrial targets in Taira and Hamamatsu, Japan.

We begin bombing in five minutes

The quip became the basis for a song titled "Five Minutes," as well as "A is for Atom (B is for Bomb)" by Monte Cazazza's band The Atom Smashers, both of which began with a clip of the recording.
