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 ...

Valence electrons, located in the outermost shell of an atom, play an important role in driving chemical reactions and forming bonds with other atoms. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

Atoms are the fundamental components of matter, made up of three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. The structure of atoms determines the properties and behavior of different ...

This motion drives many important physical, chemical and biological reactions in nature. Knowledge of such a motion in benzene molecules might open up new ways to probe and understand such reactions.

Figure 1: Conceptual picture of TRMFPADs as a probe of valence-electronic dynamics during CS 2 photodissociation. Our combined experimental and theoretical results demonstrate how TRMFPADs can provide ...

Researchers are investigating novel ways by which electrons are knocked out of matter. Their research could have implications for radiation therapy. Researchers at Japan's Tohoku University are ...

Scientists at OIST have defied a foundational rule in chemistry by creating a stable 20-electron version of ferrocene—an organometallic molecule once thought to be limited to 18 valence electrons.

So how do you get an electron to float on top of helium? To find out, Ars spoke with Johannes Pollanen, the chief scientific officer of EeroQ, the company that accomplished the new work. He said that ...

When high-energy radiation interacts with water in living organisms, it generates particles and slow-moving electrons that ...
