A young man was lying in his bed when a viciously hot cloud of ash swept down from the erupting Mount Vesuvius and turned his brain to glass almost 2,000 years ago. For the first time, a team of ...

Chemists have used synchrotron light sources to observe the electron clouds on the surface of graphene, producing a series of images that reveal how folds and ripples in the remarkable material can ...

Atomic orbitals are the quantum states of the individual electrons in the electron cloud around a single atom. Specifically, atomic orbitals are the quantum states of the individual electrons in the ...

A single electron cloud in molecular nitrogen has been photographed. The snapshot is recorded so rapidly that it might become possible to image electron clouds as they change during fundamental ...

A group of researchers led by the Zhejiang University of Technology in China has proposed to use two sulfone-based organic molecules known as diphenylsulfone (DPS) and 4,4′-dimethyldiphenylsulfone ...

They are the invisible glue that hold molecules, the world around us and our own bodies together. Now researchers have managed to see the electron bonds which bind atoms to each other for the first ...

Acids come with warning labels for good reason — any acid much stronger than vinegar can cause a nasty burn to your flesh, or a fizzing pit in your metal surfaces. But when you get down to the ...

Calculations of the electron densities of a Rydberg atom shown at three different times after the arrival of the pump pulse. The snapshot on the left is at 5.6 ps after the pump, the centre image at ...

Devices using electron cloud and electrostatic charge to contain spread of novel coronavirus are fast gaining popularity in the market. On Tuesday, a Kolkata-based company launched an electron-cloud ...
