Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. No chemical reaction or energy transfer process can take place without electrons, as they are responsible for forming and breaking ...

In a groundbreaking achievement, physicists have successfully peered inside the nucleus of a molecule using electrons as a probe. This pioneering development builds upon previous work where scientists ...

Plants have a monopoly on the sun. They soak up rays, shuffle electrons, and ...

Our planet’s surface evolves continuously by a complex interplay of climate, biological processes, and tectonic activity. Rapid population growth and climate change are modifying our landscapes, ...

The proposed iridium-based compound can effectively store “electrons” from hydrogen and hold them in solid state at room temperature for months. These stored electrons can then be released to catalyze ...

One day, powerful particle accelerators might fit in your pocket. Two teams of physicists have built tiny structures that both accelerate electrons and keep them confined in a manageable beam, instead ...

The new work is an effort to make sense of a discovery that was reported earlier this year by a different group of physicists at MIT, led by Assistant Professor Long Ju (Nature, "Fractional quantum ...

A titanium-based metal-organic framework achieves record electron storage density among MOFs and releases these accumulated charges to produce hydrogen gas without any additional light. (Nanowerk ...

Scientists had already shown that electrons can split into fractions under a very strong magnetic field, in what is known as the fractional quantum Hall effect. Ju’s work was the first to find that ...
