Researchers have achieved quantum "alchemy" that allows them to alter the properties of materials using high-powered ...

For the first time, scientists have recorded electrons in the act of snapping chemical bonds, turning an abstract quantum ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was observed for the first time. As the interactions between atoms are governed by the valence electrons ...

A semiconductor is a material or device that only conducts electricity under certain conditions. Some elements in the periodic table, such as carbon, silicon, and germanium, are intrinsic ...

Researchers announced that they have achieved the world's first elucidation of how hydrogen produces free electrons through ...

Open a jewelry box or pause in front of a stained-glass window, and you are seeing one of nature’s quieter tricks at work. The color, in these cases, is not painted on. It comes from the atoms ...

Have you ever placed the palm of your left hand on the back of your right hand, in such a way that all fingers point in the same direction? If you have, then you probably know that your left thumb ...

The mystery of quantum phenomena inside materials—such as superconductivity, where electric current flows without energy loss—lies in when electrons move together and when they break apart. KAIST ...
