In 1931, Harvey Elliott White developed a device that traced out the shapes of electron clouds by approximating solutions to ...

Many of you will remember them from your physics lessons at school: often represented as colourful clouds or balloons, electron orbitals provide information on the whereabouts of the electrons in ...

The transition between classical physics and quantum physics is always fascinating. How does an object go from behaving in a deterministic manner to occupying the quantum world, where its activities ...

Evidence has been found for a new type of electron pairing that may broaden the search for new high-temperature superconductors. The findings provide the basis for a unifying description of how ...

Research and development of organic electronics such as organic solar cells and organic light-emitting diodes is rapidly advancing. The "shape" of the electron orbitals of organic molecules (molecular ...

Electrons have a property called spin, which can be crudely thought of as the rotation of an electron about an axis. As an electron moves, its motion and spin can become linked through an effect known ...

Hanging around: this image shows where an electron is most likely to be found in an exciton. Yellow indicates high probability and blue low probability. The hole is located at the centre of the ...

Researchers from Japan have discovered a unique Hall effect resulting from deflection of electrons due to "in-plane ...

This weekend, US spaceflight startup Rocket Lab successfully launched its second Electron rocket for a crucial flight test — and reached orbit for the first time. The Electron took off from the ...

UPTON, NY--A team of scientists has found evidence for a new type of electron pairing that may broaden the search for new high-temperature superconductors. The findings, described in the journal ...
