The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was experimentally observed for the first time by a team led by Nagoya University in Japan.

A team led by Francesca Ferlaino has set a new milestone in atomic physics by trapping individual erbium atoms in optical ...

Relativistic electrons in the outer Van Allen belt wreak havoc with satellites in geosynchronous orbit, but how they reach such high energies has been unclear. New data identify gyro-resonant wave ...

This attraction pulls the atoms together. The electrons end up being shared by the atoms in a region around the nucleus of both atoms. Hydrogen atoms are close together. The electron from each atom ...

At an atomic level, semiconductors have a crystalline structure in which their electrons are arranged in energy bands. The ...

In semiconductors, valence electrons occupy energy bands, with the valence band (lower energy) and the conduction band (higher energy) separated by an energy gap. Electrons in lower energy levels can ...

The low-loss region of the EELS spectrum is sensitive to the collective excitations of valence electrons, known as plasmons. By mapping the plasmon energy and intensity, information about the local ...

Topological flat band may account for fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect recently observed in pentalayer moiré graphene ...
