Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) can be used to detect electric charge density as well as image atoms. This new advance comes from researchers at the University of California, Irvine, ...

Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), which utilize ferroelectric ceramics, are widely used as electronic components in ...

1928 Paul Dirac formulates his electron equation, which implies the existence of antielectrons — particles with the same mass as electrons but opposite charge.

Real-space charge-density imaging with sub-ångstrom resolution by four-dimensional electron microscopy. Nature , 2019 DOI: 10.1038/s41586-019-1649-6 Cite This Page : ...

A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and one electron in the region outside the nucleus. The electron and proton are attracted to each other. This attraction holds the atom together. It is ...

The two quasiparticles in those experiments were the "spinon," a neutral quasiparticle that behaves magnetically like an electron, and the "holon," a spinless excitation carrying electric charge.

Nothing is more emblematic of an electron than its negative charge. It’s the trait that determines how the particle behaves in electromagnetic environments, such as a wire’s electric field and ...
