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 ...

Quantum dots beat traditional photosensitizers at their own game. They tackle reactions once thought too tough for ...

As few as five electrons in a semiconductor can exhibit collective behaviour, forming a “Coulomb liquid”, according to researchers in Europe. This extends the study of correlated systems to electron ...

A new method uses helium droplets combined with ultrashort laser pulses to trigger chemical reactions in a controlled way.

Domestic researchers have achieved a world first by directly measuring the quantum distance of electrons in solid material. The Ministry of Science and ICT said the world's top academic journal Nature ...

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 ...

Ballistic electrons chart a new course for next-gen terahertz devices by Singapore University of Technology and Design edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

“By directly observing thousands of electrons in real-time, we gain powerful insights into how materials respond at the quantum level,” Jakowski said. Metallic nanoparticles, or metals with dimensions ...

However, when asked about her personal preferences, Chambriard was emphatic: “I prefer molecules over electrons. By far!” ...

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 ...
