The study, “Observation of electron orbital signatures of single atoms within metal-phthalocyanines using atomic force microscopy,” was published March 2023 in Nature Communications.

This energy loss provides detailed information about the electronic structure of the material, helping scientists understand how electrons, like those in the 5f orbital of uranium, behave and ...

"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics.

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.

A rendering of how changes in an electron's motion (bottom view) alter the scattering of light (top view), as measured in a new experiment that scattered more than 500 photons of light from a ...
