Electrons are incredibly fast. Because of their ultrafast motions, directly observing their behavior has been challenging. Now researchers have suggested a new method to make visualizing electron ...

Electrons oscillate around the nucleus of an atom on extremely short timescales, typically completing a cycle in just a few ...

It may be the smallest, shortest chorus dance ever recorded. An international team of researchers observed how electrons, excited by ultrafast light pulses, danced in unison around a particle less ...

A research group led by Prof. Yang Liangbao from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has enhanced localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) by studying Cu₂O₁₋ₓ ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen ...

Confirming previous observations, we identify electron shifts on the outermost shells for a majority of the elements: valence s electrons are highly unfavored under strong confinement, and the ...

This achievement could open a new way of looking at how electrons behave inside different materials. Their discovery highlights many effects that could be relevant to everything from quantum ...
