Carboxylic acids are ubiquitous in bioactive organic molecules and readily available chemical building blocks. Carboxylic ...

The proposed iridium-based compound can effectively store “electrons” from hydrogen and hold them in solid state at room temperature for months. These stored electrons can then be released to ...

X-ray-excited electrons are then tunneled to the detector tip (gray) via overlapping atomic/molecular orbitals, which provide elemental and chemical information of the iron atom. Credit: Saw-Wai Hla ...

AN ATOM'S electrons are an ever-shifting quantum melee, but it turns out you can still take their photograph as if they were standing still. A quantum-style microscope has imaged the hydrogen atom ...

Such combining of experiments with quantum chemistry shows that hydrogen position change has a direct influence on the molecular dynamics after an interaction with low-energy electrons, where even ...

What you’re looking at is the first direct observation of an atom’s electron orbital — an atom’s actual wave function! To capture the image, researchers utilized a new quantum microscope ...

Scientists have captured the first ever photo of an electron’s whizzing orbit within a hydrogen atom, thanks to a unique new microscopy technique. Seeing inside the tiniest bits of matter is a ...

What lies within the H atom? Experimental observation of the transverse nodal structure of four atomic hydrogen Stark states. The images in the middle show experimental measurements. Interference ...

Hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom are close together. Electrons from each atom feel the attraction from the protons in the nucleus of the other atom. This attraction pulls the atoms together and the ...

But apart from hydrogen, all other atoms in the periodic table have more, some many more, electrons orbiting their nuclei. For example, the oxygen atom has eight electrons, the atom of iron has 26 ...

Bohr’s Model of an Atom: Danish Physicist Niels Bohr received his Ph.D. from the University of Copenhagen in 1911. In 1922, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the atom’s ...
