Understanding the behavior of materials at their interfaces — where they connect to and interact with other materials — is central to engineering a variety of devices used to process, store and ...

For the first time, scientists have recorded electrons in the act of snapping chemical bonds, turning an abstract quantum process into a frame‑by‑frame movie. The work captures the split‑second ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was observed for the first time. As the interactions between atoms are governed by the valence electrons ...
