For the first time, scientists visualized how electrons behave during a chemical reaction, which could help reduce unwanted ...

Scientists have found a way to reversibly change the atomic structure of a 2-D material by injecting, or “doping,” it with electrons.

The same electrostatic charge that can make hair stand on end and attach balloons to clothing could be an efficient way to drive atomically thin electronic memory devices of the future.

As is the case with electrons, the averaged-field model predicts the existence of shells within the nucleus -- shells with the greatest probability of a proton or a neutron being found there.

Electron Shells: Electrons occupy specific energy levels or electron shells around the nucleus. The innermost shell can hold up to 2 electrons, while the subsequent shells can hold more.

The shells in which electrons orbit have different quantum numbers and hold only certain numbers of electrons -- the first shell holds no more than 2, the second shell up to 8, the third 10, the ...

In order to more accurately observe the melting of frozen electrons, a group of physicists from China, Hong Kong, and Japan created a device that could peer into the subatomic spectacle.

The exponential decay of krypton M-shell vacancies served as a benchmark process for testing the feasibility of time-resolved atomic inner-shell spectroscopy. The measured decay time can also be ...

"By adding electrons into a material, the overall energy goes up and will tip off the balance, resulting in the atomic structure re-arranging to a new pattern that is more stable.
