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.

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

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.

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.

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

"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.
