How does a planet’s size influence its orbit around its parent star? This is what a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences hopes to address as a team of ...

The electrons that make up molecules are organized by energy in orbitals 1,2. Although total electron density in molecules is routinely measured by X-ray diffraction or electron scattering, only two ...

Earth’s path around the Sun is not a fixed racetrack but a slowly shifting orbit, and those subtle changes have a long history of reshaping the planet’s climate. As astronomers refine how these ...

The behavior of electrons on a single-crystal gold surface was investigated. On the Au(111) surface, a difference in the magnitude of the electrons' in-plane momentum component (proportional to the in ...
