Principal Quantum Number (n): This number determines the energy level or electron shell of an electron. As n increases, the electrons are located further away from the nucleus, resulting in a larger ...

If you picture an electron breaking free from a solid, the process seems simple. Give it enough energy, and it should blast ...

Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe) are stellar explosions that occur in stars with initial masses around 8–10 times that of ...

A team of researchers at the University of Victoria (UVic) have achieved an advance in electron microscopy that will allow scientists to visualize atomic-scale structures with unprecedented clarity ...

The discovery could significantly reduce the production costs of fuels, chemicals, and materials. A research team from the Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering and the University of ...

The Committee on Chemists with Disabilities is planning to showcase 50 braille periodic tables in 50 states by their 50th ...

In a significant breakthrough for the scientific community, a new element has been confirmed on the periodic table. This discovery holds potential implications for a wide range of scientific fields, ...

Founded by a co-creator of ChatGPT, Periodic Labs aims to build artificial intelligence that can accelerate discoveries in physics, chemistry and other fields. Ekin Dogus Cubuk, left, and Liam Fedus ...

Harnessing quantum states that avoid thermalization enables energy harvesters to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits such as Carnot efficiency, report researchers from Japan. The team developed a ...

Scientists at Auburn University created a new type of material where electrons can move freely across a solid surface. By arranging these electrons in different patterns, the material could one day be ...
