When it comes to talent, versatility and the power to change the world, which atomic particle is the champ? Read what our four contenders have to say — then you decide.

Using the world's most accurate molecular scale, a former astronaut wanna-be is studying Titan's hazy atmosphere, which resembles the ancient chemistry that once surrounded our own planet.

Anders Celsius is most familiar as the inventor of the temperature scale that bears his name.

For a man whose career involved entire known universe, John Kraus had a remarkably insular upbringing.

Computers evolve into PCs, researchers discover one new subatomic particle after another and the space age gives our psyches and science a new context.

Scientists explore new energy sources, the World Wide Web spins a vast network and nanotechnology is born.

In addition to heat and light, our sun cranks out a complex, swirling magnetic field.

Combining subatomic particles, science, photography and more, this lesson can be used in science class or many other subjects.

The 21T FT-ICR MS instrument enables the molecular characterization of atmospheric hazes - like that on Saturn’s moon, Titan - and water vapor to better understand the evolution of biological molecules in exoplanet atmospheres. 

Wildfires changes the chemical composition of molecules in soil, and only the 21T FT-ICR mass spectrometer can assess the molecular composition to understand the long term impact of wildfires on soil chemistry.

New research finds evidence that Earth's water originated in asteroids.

As humanity continues its exploration of the universe, the low-gravity environment of space presents unusual challenges for scientists and engineers.

MagLab analysis finds the space rock is among the most complex materials.

A team of MagLab scientists has been working on the superconducting wires for new electromagnets that will improve physics research at the Large Hadron Collider.

The first mass spectrum from Fourier-Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance happened in December 1973. The co-inventor went on to build MagLab’s world-renowned program.

Keeping track of where on earth our poles are is practically a full-time job.
