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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mohammed Hassan, associate professor of physics and optical sciences, let a group of researchers in developing the first transmission electron microscope powerful enough to capture images of electrons ...

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 ...

Recent studies have shown that materials composed of layered of tubes (known as low-dimensional materials) that are atomic-thick, can exhibit new properties. The static properties of these structures, ...

Electrons oscillate around the nucleus of an atom on extremely short timescales, typically completing a cycle in just a few hundred attoseconds (one attosecond is a quintillionth of a second). Because ...

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 ...
