About a half-billion years ago, the early Paleozoic seas were filled with now-extinct creatures called trilobites, which had flat, oval, segmented shells. Recently, a team of theoretical physicists ...

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 couple of weeks back I posted an answer to a question from a Twitter follower’s child, who asked “How Strong Is Space?” That was fun, so here’s another kid-question answered, this one from my own ...

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 ...

Clouds of electrons could block the view of new discoveries at the proposed ILC, a multi-billion-dollar particle collider. Eliminating those clouds is critical to the prspects for the machine's ...

The recombination of electron shells in molecules, taking just a few dozen attoseconds (a billionth of a billionth of a second) can now be viewed 'live,' thanks to a new method. The recombination of ...

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 ...
