BUFFALO, N.Y. — You probably learned in high school chemistry class that core electrons don’t participate in chemical bonding. They’re thought to be too deep inside an atom and close to the nucleus to ...

A University at Buffalo study provides new insights about core electrons, including their role in the B1-B2 transition that sees a compound's atomic crystal structure rearrange from an octahedral ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was experimentally observed for the first time by a team led by Nagoya University in Japan. As the ...

AES operates on the principle of the Auger effect, named after the French physicist Pierre Auger. When a material's surface is bombarded with a beam of high-energy electrons or photons, it causes the ...

Inner core electrons are expected to have a peanut like wavefunction as is shown for Si 2 s electrons (right). In the C-C bond, however, the C1s electrons form a torus like feature of opposite ...

MIT scientists used radium monofluoride atom to observe electrons entering atomic nuclei, revealing new details of nuclear magnetism.
