Q: How did Rutherford estimate the number of Au atoms in the foil in his experiment?

niobiumIn the Rutherford experiment (where he found the diameter of the nucleus of an Au atom by estimating the probability of an $\alpha$-particle to bounce back on a gold foil), how did Rutherford estimate the number of Au atoms in the foil ? It seems to be needed in the calculus, since we have: $$\fr...

Q: References about neutrinos getting clumped in "structures" in the future?

The problem with this is that neutrinos have a very light mass, have a great speed and do not really have a way to radiate excess energy. However, I found these works (https://academic.oup.com/m...

For every positive $\alpha < 1$, is the set of singular functions dense in the space of Holder continuous functions of order $\alpha$? Where we equip...

Q: Why do the Ares missions not use a lower pressure pure O2 atmosphere?

AFAIK, pure oxygen is harmful to humans only when the partial pressure is higher than that on Earth. In fact, many real w...

Q: Mosfet Operational Amplifier

If we give a small signal 5mV of sine wave, it is easy to swing to the triode region of MOSFET. However, it is useful that if sma...
