For the first time, scientists have "photographed" a rare plasma instability, where high-energy electron beams form into ...

Key components in a traditional lithium-ion battery include an anode, electrolyte, separator and cathode. They all work together to shuttle electrons between an EV’s charge and discharge cycles. The ...

Charge-parity violation is thought to explain why there’s more matter than antimatter in the universe. Scientists just spotted it in a new place.

Scientists carefully positioned lasers to compress billions of electrons together, creating a beam five times more powerful ...

Researchers at the University of Nottingham's School of Chemistry used transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to observe the ...

Scientists have for the first time filmed the real-time growth and contraction of Palladium nanoparticles, opening new avenues for utilising and recycling precious metal catalysts.

A moiré pattern appears when you stack and rotate two copies of an image with regularly repeating shapes, turning simple ...

J. Thomson’s discovery that atoms were not indivisible, but contained smaller, negatively charged entities called electrons — the first subatomic particles to be identified. Then, in 1911 ...

(d) ‘X’ is diamagnetic and ‘Y’ is paramagnetic. 3. If kinetic energy of moving electrons is made four times, then their de Broglie wavelength becomes: (a) eight times. (b) four times.

To study the interactions between electrons in a material, physicists have come up with a number of tricks over the years. These interactions are interesting, among other things, because they lead ...

The isotope lead-208 was predicted to be extremely stable and perfectly spherical because of the “magic” numbers of electrons and ... fully occupy the nuclear valence shells (outermost orbits ...
