DR. G. I. FINCH and A. G. QUARRELL1 have reported many extra rings in electron diffraction patterns from thin metal foils containing preferentially oriented crystals. At first they attributed ...

A new nanoscale transistor that parcels out electrons with metronome-like regularity has the potential to lead to designs for electronic noses and tiny devices inside of cell phones.

The largest Rydberg atoms have electron orbits with a diameter on the order of a micrometer, which means that something like 160 atoms are within the orbit when the Rydberg atom is formed.

Almost a century later, Joseph John Thomson, a fellow Mancunian working the University of Cambridge in 1897, discovered the electron, proving that the atom had smaller constituent parts.

In a unique experiment, researchers have clocked how long it takes for an electron to be emitted from an atom. The result is .00000000000000002 seconds, or 20 billionths of a billionth of a second.

Posted: Jul 27, 2017: Observing electron beam etching atom by atom (Nanowerk News) Researchers have utilized electron beam irradiation to in situ etch CaO in a TEM, which permits simultaneous ...

Researchers at Leti, a CEA Tech institute, recently developed an electron holography technique capable of imaging material structures with a spatial resolution of just one atom. Electron holography, a ...

The quantum fix. Famed Danish physicist Niels Bohr was the first person to propose a solution to this issue. In 1913, he suggested that electrons in an atom couldn't just have any orbit they wanted.

Atom swaps are part of a growing group of organic reactions used to alter a single atom in a larger, complex structure. Another atom-swapping reaction has entered the ring.
