“A FAST PROTON moving through matter will slow by interactions with electrons and nuclei, until it is captured by the electron cloud of an atom. The result is a protonated atom, which is a chemical compound of hydrogen.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

PARADIGM SHIFT IN OPTICS. “While the generic technology realized by utilizing dressed photons has demolished the conventional wisdom of optics, for example, the unexpectedly high-power light emission from indirect-transition type semiconductors, dressed photons are still considered to be too elusive to justify because conventional optical theory has never explained the mechanism causing them.” https://www.mdpi.com/2073-8994/12/8/1244/htm View in LinkedIn

“FREE PROTONS occur occasionally on Earth: thunderstorms can produce protons with energies of up to several tens of MeV. At sufficiently low temperatures and kinetic energies, free protons will bind to electrons. However, the character of such bound protons does not change, and they remain protons.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

DRESSED PHOTONS. “The anomalous nanoscale electromagnetic field arising from light–matter interactions in a nanometric space is called a dressed photon.” https://lnkd.in/deVkGQUS View in LinkedIn

THE 99%. “The remainder of a proton's mass is due to quantum chromodynamics binding energy, which includes the kinetic energy of the quarks and the energy of the gluon fields that bind the quarks together.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

SOFT PHOTONS. “Furthermore, the commitment of electromagnetic field (quantum and/or classical) causes more complications as will be discussed, like the case of infrared divergences, where “infrared soft photons” carrying low energies cause serious divergences through the coupling with the “on-shell states” of charged particles.” https://lnkd.in/dpsM58Ep View in LinkedIn

COMPOSITION. “Protons are composite particles composed of three valence quarks: two up quarks of charge +2/3 e and one down quark of charge −1/3 e. The rest masses of quarks contribute only about 1% of a proton's mass.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

ETYMOLOGY. “The word proton is Greek for "first", and this name was given to the hydrogen nucleus by Ernest Rutherford in 1920.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn

PROTONS. “The number of protons in the nucleus is the defining property of an element, and is referred to as the atomic number (represented by the symbol Z). Since each element has a unique number of protons, each element has its own unique atomic number.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton View in LinkedIn
