Since Einstein’s analysis of Brownian motion in 1905, scientific world has accepted that matter around us is made out of tiny particles called atoms. These atoms themselves consist of a small nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by a “cloud” of electrons. Behavior of electrons and nuclei is […]
Organic aerosols account for up to 90 % of particulate matter present in the lower atmosphere. These aerosol particles affect air quality and key atmospheric processes, yet the extent of their contribution remains uncertain without molecular-level understanding. Moreover, the chemical space of these aerosols is vast: the number of plausible […]
The central goal of nuclear physics is to understand the structure and behavior of atomic nuclei. This pursuit began in the 1910s with Rutherford’s discovery of the nucleus, later understood to be composed of protons and neutrons. In the 1960s, electron–proton scattering experiments and the development of the quantum field […]
Every year, the Finnish Physical Society presents four early-career presentation awards at Physics Days. Certificates and €200 prizes are given to the two best oral presentations and the two best poster presentations. The high quality and large number of contributions made the evaluators’ task challenging, and we thank them for their […]
