rely on metals such as platinum to initiate the chemical reaction that divides fuel sources like hydrogen gas into protons and electrons, subsequently converting them into electricity. As the ...

Bonus carbon fact: The carbon-fluorine (C-F) bond is the most stable chemical bond known to exist. Credit: ExtremeTech Carbon normally has six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus, giving it an ...

Protons sit in the nuclei of all atoms, but they are not fundamental particles: They are made of three quarks held together by the strong nuclear force. The strength of this interaction is ...

even though multiple electrons were ejected during the cascade. This phenomenon is at first surprising, given that fluorine, the most electronegative element in the periodic table, is known for ...

In a paper published Jan. 22 in Nature, the team describes how electrons in devices made, in part, of the new material can become solid, or form crystals, by changing the voltage applied to the ...

So far as we know, the idea of a quantised spinning of the electron was put forward for the first time by A. K. Compton (Journ. Frankl. Inst., Aug. 1921, p. 145), who pointed out the possible ...

I’m always very happy to read about new methods of introducing fluorine atoms into organic molecules, because (like most medicinal chemists!) I consider the element an old friend of mine. Back before ...

Protons and electrons have equal, but opposite charges. Electrons are attracted to positively charged particles, such as protons. Whether or not a substance has a net electric charge is determined ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have revealed an unprecedented map of the forces acting within a proton. This map ...

The P/B ratio shows how a stock's market price compares to its book value. It helps gauge whether a stock is undervalued or overvalued relative to its net assets.

A new method using spiraling electron beams allows scientists to directly observe electrons in motion, unlocking new insights into quantum processes and molecular behavior. Credit: SciTechDaily.com ...
