Polarized electrons are electrons in which spins have a "preferred" orientation or are preferentially oriented in a specific direction. The realization of these electrons has notable implications for ...

Faster computers, tap-proof communication, better car sensors—quantum technologies have the potential to revolutionize our lives just as the invention of computers or the internet once did. Experts ...

An oddball superconductor is the first of its kind — and if scientists are lucky, its discovery may lead to others. At a frigid temperature 5 ten-thousandths of a degree above absolute zero, bismuth ...

How does water's behavior change when there’s a free electron around? Researchers figured this out, with implications on the understanding of biological radiation damage. (Nanowerk News) Radiation is ...

FREE electrons with thermal energy react readily with the molecules of many chemical substances; since the free electron may be regarded as the simplest free radical, an unattached valence bond, and ...

Linear molecules can capture and bind free electrons through the permanent dipole moment interaction. Physicists have achieved laboratory confirmation of the existence of dipole-bound states. Such ...

Free radicals are unstable atoms or molecules with free outer electrons. This makes them highly reactive because free electrons always strive to form a stable bond. This stabilization involves gaining ...

How do anti-static sprays work? Where do the electrons go to or come from to neutralise a charged surface? • The short answer is anti-static spray consists of an electrically conducting polymer ...

Researchers from Göttingen (Germany) and Lausanne (Switzerland) have successfully created electron-photon pairs in a controlled way in an electron microscope for the first time. Using a new method, ...
