Attosecond science, honored with the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics, is transforming our understanding of how electrons move in atoms, molecules, and solids. An attosecond—equivalent to a billionth of a ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was observed for the first time. As the interactions between atoms are governed by the valence electrons ...

Campi and colleagues find that the size of the patterns formed by electrons is strongly tied to the degree to which the cuprate superconductor is doped — meaning that a small amount of one type of ...

Machine-learning tools have taken us closer to understanding electrons and how they behave in chemical interactions, following news that UK-based AI company DeepMind, owned by Google’s parent company ...

Beam out: electrons in a magnetic field rotate at three different frequencies, according to new research carried out by Peter Schattschneider and colleagues. (Courtesy: iStockphoto/amtitus) The best ...

An electron is a subatomic particle usually found in orbit around an atomic nucleus. It is by definition said to have one unit of negative electrical charge. Current is nothing more than electrons in ...
