When a laser experiment fails to produce the expected flash of light, most researchers would assume something went wrong with ...

No chemical reaction or energy transfer process can take place without electrons, as they are responsible for forming and breaking chemical bonds. Therefore, to control and manipulate chemical ...

Our ability to image the subatomic realm is limited, not just by resolution, but also by speed. The constituent particles that make up – and fly free from – atoms can, in theory, move at speeds ...

Scientists have found a way to see ultrafast molecular interactions inside liquids using an extreme laser technique once ...

A team of researchers from the University of Arizona have penned a new study detailing the creation of a microscope capable of capturing the speed of a electron. The new research has been published in ...

Liquids and solutions may look simple, but on the molecular scale they are constantly shifting and reorganizing. When sugar dissolves in water, each sugar molecule quickly becomes surrounded by fast ...

A remarkable consequence of quantum mechanics is that electrons can display interference effects. This interference is similar to waves interacting in the ocean or the electromagnetic waves that carry ...

The electron orbits a phosphorus atom embedded in the silicon lattice, shown in silver. The undisturbed electron density distribution, calculated from the quantum mechanical equations of motion is ...

Scientists used an ultrafast X-ray laser to follow the impact of a single electron moving within a molecule during an entire chemical reaction. (Nanowerk News) Valence electrons, located in the ...

A team of physicists has pulled off a visual trick that sounds like stage magic: they made a flash of light vanish inside a ...
