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

Chemistry textbooks explain how reactions start and end, but they rarely show what happens ...

Associate Professor Yuichiro Matsushita of Materials and Structures Laboratory, Institute of Science Tokyo, Mitsubishi ...

For as long as people have watched storms roll across the sky, lightning has inspired awe and fear. You can see the flash and ...

These chemical oddities may explain why Earth seems to be deficient in certain elements — and could prove useful in catalysts ...

In Sept. 2012, NASA’s Van Allen Probes observed the radiation belts around Earth had settled into a new configuration, separating into three belts instead of two. Scientists think the unusual physics ...

“Dark” electrons within solid materials may help us learn more about the behaviour of high-temperature superconductors, and perhaps solve other mysteries in material science. Most of a material’s ...

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 ...

Researchers have recently identified 'dark electrons'—electrons undetectable using traditional spectroscopy—within solid materials. By examining palladium diselenide, the team discovered states ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...
