A group of researchers from Ehime University investigated valence electron configurations using light, expanding on prior studies of superconductors and quantum spin liquids. The findings were ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether in a physics class, in the lab, or in popular science writing, is left ...

A new analysis reveals what happens when very short or narrow electron beams encounter a particle. The research is published ...

Electron tomography is a powerful imaging technique that enables the three-dimensional (3D) visualization and analysis of nanostructures at the atomic scale. By combining advanced electron microscopy ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts students played Battleship with periodic tables to review electron configurations during class Oct. 6. Students had to give the corresponding electron ...
