Now, a team of researchers from Hokkaido University has isolated a compound in which a single electron is shared between two carbon atoms in a remarkably stable covalent bond, known as a sigma bond.

THE fiftieth anniversary of the discovery of the electron by Sir J. J. Thomson will occur next year. To mark this jubilee and to demonstrate the tremendous influence such an advance in pure ...

The discovery of plasmon polaritons on a single electron is another step towards understanding the complex nature of the quantum world. It not only expands our knowledge of the fundamental properties ...

Researchers from UBC, the University of Washington, and Johns Hopkins have identified topological electron crystals in twisted bilayer–trilayer graphene. These crystals feature edge-flowing electrons ...
