For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), in collaboration with ...

Electrons play many roles in solid materials. When they are weakly bound and able to travel—i.e., mobile—they can enable ...

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong studying the structure of 2D materials have predicted new types of phase transitions that have yet to be seen in experiments ...

Listening to electrons talk G-factor measurement of lithium-like tin Date: May 29, 2025 Source: Max-Planck-Institut fur Kernphysik Summary: Researchers present new experimental and theoretical ...

Thought to be caused by plasma instabilities, chorus waves—which can propel electrons to deadly speeds—typically occur due to the unstable distribution of electrons along magnetic field lines.

For the first time, researchers have reported a 3D metal-organic framework (MOF) that can conduct both electrons and protons (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2024, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.4c13792). Materials mixing ...

In a solid material, orbitals of similar energy can overlap and form a band. Overlap of orbitals that form bonds between atoms create an energy band known as the valence band. Electrons in the ...

Now, H.E.S.S. scientists are excited because they’ve detected the highest energy electrons and positrons to date (a positron is like the "opposite" of an electron because it has the mass of an ...

It's stable. It's always there." Accelerated electrons, energized from a geomagnetic storm, raced around Earth's Van Allen radiation belts and reached near-light speed.

Their findings imply that the dark electrons they found in PdSe 2 aren’t just a fluke—they’re a sign that dark states are likely found all throughout nature.

The world’s fastest microscope captures electrons down to the attosecond A single attosecond lasts just one quintillionth of a second. By Andrew Paul Published Aug 22, 2024 2:47 PM EDT ...
