...neutrons (tiny particles which weigh about the same as a proton or hydrogen nucleus but have no electric charge). His bombarding neutrons slipped into the hearts of the uranium atoms, forming an unstable new element, ckarhcuium-No. 93. Similarly, in 1936, Dr. Fermi created a few atoms of ckaosmium-No. 94. Some of his other discoveries about neutrons: Having no electric charge, neutrons are not affected by the negative electric field outside an atom or by the positive charge on its nucleus. The only thing that stops them, or slows them down, is the mass of the nucleus itself. Hydrogen...
