In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, molecule, or other physical structure (e.g., a crystal). Like other elementary particles ...

Electron microscopy researchers have developed a unique way to build 3-D structures with finely controlled shapes as small as one to two billionths of a meter. The study demonstrates how scanning ...

Atom arrangement and electron behavior are among the most critical factors that dictate a crystalline material's properties. Notably, the orientation and strength of magnetic fields right at the ...

Achieving state-of-the-art accuracy in molecular property prediction using self-supervised AI, enabling cost-effective modeling based on electron-level information without quantum calculations ...

Traditional computational science and AI methods have been limited in utilizing electron-level information—essential for determining molecular properties—due to the excessive cost of quantum ...

For the first time, scientists visualized how electrons behave during a chemical reaction, which could help reduce unwanted ...

(Nanowerk News) The key to maximizing traditional or quantum computing speeds lies in our ability to understand how electrons behave in solids, and a collaboration between the University of Michigan ...

We used 600-femtosecond electron pulses to study the structural evolution of aluminum as it underwent an ultrafast laser-induced solid-liquid phase transition. Real-time observations showed the loss ...
