Making electrons flow like a liquid is difficult, but inside graphene researchers forced them to move so fast that they ...

Research suggests some metals’ semicore electrons may be more active on Earth’s surface than previously thought.

So how do you get an electron to float on top of helium? To find out, Ars spoke with Johannes Pollanen, the chief scientific officer of EeroQ, the company that accomplished the new work. He said that ...

A new study, published in early November in Nature Physics, details a breakthrough in understanding the dynamics of halide perovskites, revealing insights crucial for advancing optoelectronics ...

Hollow atoms are special atoms with multiple missing electrons in their inner shells, while their outer shells are still fully or partially filled with electrons. Studying the production mechanisms, ...

When two hydrogen atoms get close enough, the electron from each atom feels an attraction from the proton in the other atom's nucleus. This attraction pulls the atoms together. The electrons end up ...

You probably learned in high school chemistry class that core electrons don't participate in chemical bonding.They're thought to be ...

The “lead” of a pencil is actually made of a substance called graphite which is made of carbon atoms. The picture shows a close-up of one carbon atom. A hydrogen atom has one proton as the nucleus and ...

Stockholm — Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for studying how electrons zip around atoms in fractions of seconds, a field that could one day lead to better electronics or ...

Scientists observed record-breaking electron mobility — seven times higher than in conventional semiconductors — with a material made from the same elements as quartz and gold. When you purchase ...
