A team of researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering and the University of ...

Synthetic diamond research examines organic molecular interactions under the microscope. Scientists have long developed different techniques to produce artificial diamonds, but a new method from ...

Electrons flow underground in ways far more extensive than once believed, forming networks that link distant chemical zones. Minerals, organic molecules, and specialized bacteria can act as bridges, ...

Scientists at Rice University have demonstrated a way to “write” light sources and nanoscale wiring directly onto crystals ...

Research suggests some metals’ semicore electrons may be more active on Earth’s surface than previously thought.

Semiconductor moiré superlattices are fascinating material structures that have been found to be promising for studying correlated electron states and quantum physics phenomena. These structures, made ...

Chemistry students in Alyssa Fontenot’s class at West Feliciana High play Electron Configuration Battleship. Among the students were Kitty Lindsey, Ashlynn Culley, Kathleen Bigner, Shaniya Sullivan ...

SEM stands for scanning electron microscope. The SEM is a microscope that uses electrons instead of light to form an image. Since their development in the early 1950's, scanning electron microscopes ...

You probably learned in high school chemistry class that core electrons don't participate in chemical bonding.
