The first step in many light-driven chemical reactions, like the ones that power photosynthesis and human vision, is a shift in the arrangement of a molecule's electrons as they absorb the light's ...
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 ...
Quantum particles have a social life, of a sort. They interact and form relationships with each other, and one of the most ...
When scientists think about what drives chemistry in space, high-energy radiation, such as X-rays, gamma rays, and ions, gets most of the attention. But a new study suggests that low-energy electrons ...
Quantum chemistry is quietly entering a new phase, one where some of the hardest problems in materials science are finally ...
Machine-learning tools have taken us closer to understanding electrons and how they behave in chemical interactions, following news that UK-based AI company DeepMind, owned by Google’s parent company ...
On the move: time sequence of the electron distribution of the molecule 1,3-cyclohexadiene after it is excited by a light pulse. (Courtesy: SLAC) Scientists in the US and UK are the first to observe ...
The one-hour photo booth has met its molecular match. By adapting a technique for determining protein structures, two independent teams have charted chemical structures of antibiotics, hormones and ...
