Molecular crystals with conductivity and magnetism, due to their low impurity concentrations, provide valuable insights into ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The way that electrons paired as composite particles or arranged in lines interact with each other within a semiconductor provides new design opportunities for electronics, ...

Using synchrotron infrared light and near-infrared/visible lasers without applying a magnetic field, we observed the response of valence electrons in the (C₂H₅)(CH₃)₃As[Pd(C₃S₅)₂]₂ crystal. The ...

"Opposite charges attract; like charges repel" is the basic truth about electricity. And because of this we are able to use the most mobile of charges, the electron, to perform a great deal of work.

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 ...

Ultracold atoms moving through a carefully designed arrangement of laser beams will jiggle slightly as they go, two NIST scientists have predicted. If observed, this never-before-seen "jitterbug" ...

Elements are arranged in the periodic table in order of increasing atomic number. For example hydrogen has the atomic number of one, helium two, lithium three etc. The first energy level (the one ...

Ionic bonds are formed between a metal and non-metal, for example sodium chloride. An atom of sodium will lose an electron and form a positive ion. An atom of chlorine will gain an electron and form a ...
