Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis is an important technology to produce large-scale green hydrogen. Platinum ...

A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings by UC Santa Barbara ...

A few years ago, physicists were surprised to learn that stacking and subtly twisting two atomically thin layers of an ...

The net result is that the previously neutral atom gains an electric charge because the number of protons now exceeds the number of electrons by one (sometimes two, if two electrons are knocked out).

Electrons play many roles in solid materials. When they are weakly bound and able to travel—i.e., mobile—they can enable ...

A clever method from Caltech researchers now makes it possible to unravel complex electron-lattice interactions, potentially transforming how we understand and design quantum and electronic materials.

These two electrons can become entangled in such a way that the point in time, at which the electron was ejected from the atom, becomes uncertain and depends on the state of the other electron.

If two electrons are pushed close to being in the same state, a repulsive force arises between them.

Review with students that in lesson two they focused on the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in the atoms in each element. In this lesson, they will focus on the arrangement of the electrons ...

Electrons swarm in a soup of quantum entanglement in a new class of materials called strange metals ...

Each orbital can house up to two electrons. But since the 4f-subshell contains seven orbitals, and most rare earths contain fewer than 14 f-electrons, the elements tend to have multiple orbitals ...

For example, when two electrons interact they exchange a photon — the force-carrying particle of electromagnetic fields.
