We use it every day, but most of us haven't got a clue how electricity makes things work. What's going on in the wires that make motors move, and heaters heat? Whether it's a toaster or an electric ...

Researchers at European XFEL, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), Rostock University and other collaborating institutions have used high-precision experiments to demonstrate that the most ...

Basic physics suggests that electrons are essentially immortal. A fascinating experiment recently failed to overthrow this fundamental assumption. But the effort has produced a revised minimum ...

Static electricity works because electrons are strongly attracted to protons, right? But, in atoms, electrons are right there, next to the protons in the nucleus. Why don’t the electrons zip directly ...

From building the Centre for Pulse EPR at Imperial to probing electron transfer in real time, Maxie Rößler is pushing an overlooked technique into the spotlight ...

Because of their superlative reducing power and fascinating unresolved questions regarding their structure, solvated electrons remain a very active subject of research. Dating back to the initial ...

The interactions of electrons and water molecules are not just of great fundamental interest but are also studied to understand the role electrons have in damaging biomolecules. Now using ultrafast ...

How to find valence electrons? Valence electrons are the outermost electrons in an atom, crucial for determining its chemical properties and reactivity. This article explains how to find valence ...
