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 ...

During chemical reactions, atoms in the reacting substances break their bonds and re-arrange, forming different chemical products. This process entails the movement of both electrons (i.e., negatively ...

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 ...

Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces from Imperial College London. Alfredo has a PhD in Astrophysics and a Master's in Quantum Fields and ...

For the first time, scientists have recorded electrons in the act of snapping chemical bonds, turning an abstract quantum ...

Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed the world's fastest electron microscope that can capture the movement of electrons. They believe their work will lead to groundbreaking ...

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 ...

Nonadiabatic electron wavepacket dynamics is an emerging field that transcends the traditional Born–Oppenheimer approximation by explicitly considering the coupled evolution of electronic and nuclear ...

A team of researchers has developed the first transmission electron microscope which operates at the temporal resolution of a single attosecond, allowing for the first still-image of an electron in ...
