The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was observed for the first time. As the interactions between atoms are governed by the valence electrons ...

After a year of trial and error, Liyang Chen had managed to whittle down a metallic wire into a microscopic strand half the width of an E.coli bacterium — just thin enough to allow a trickle of ...

When high-energy radiation interacts with water in living organisms, it generates particles and slow-moving electrons that ...

MIT physicists report the unexpected discovery of electrons forming crystalline structures in a material only billionths of a ...
