An international team of researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has developed a new method for analyzing ...

Artist's concept of the signal (r.) occurring during measurement of resonant inelastic X-ray scattering in samples containing ...

"An epic exploration of possibilities. What If is a Webby Award-winning science web series that takes you on a journey ...

Electrons are incredibly fast. Because of their ultrafast motions, directly observing their behavior has been challenging. Now researchers have suggested a new method to make visualizing electron ...

When atoms collide, their exact structure—for example, the number of electrons they have or even the quantum spin of their ...

Atomic clocks are more accurate than those used to define the second, suggesting the definition might need to change ...

Lithium has been the apple of the mining industry’s eye as demand for electric vehicle batteries has skyrocketed. Now, the ...

This achievement could open a new way of looking at how electrons behave inside different materials. Their discovery highlights many effects that could be relevant to everything from quantum ...

Some elements in the periodic table, such as carbon, silicon, and germanium, are intrinsic semiconductors due to the number of electrons in their outermost electron shells. By comparison ...

this approach could now account for the form of the entire periodic table. But more than that: Pauli’s exclusion principle, by prohibiting two electrons from sharing a quantum state, also forbids them ...
