In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, molecule, or other physical structure (e.g., a crystal). Like other elementary ...

Electron beam lithography is used to draw a custom pattern on the surface of a material coated with a layer of resist. Upon exposure to electrons, this material either becomes highly soluble ...

What shape is an electron? The answer, believe it or not, has implications for our understanding of the entire universe, and could reveal whether there are mysterious particles still to be discovered.

Now imagine an electron blown up to the size of the earth. Our experiment would have been able to see a layer 10,000 times thinner than a human hair, moved from the southern to the northern ...

A vaguely plausible thought experiment posits that every electron is one electron moving back and forth through time.

Specifically, Sebens refined the calculation of the electron's magnetic moment from the Dirac equation to take account of two phenomena affecting electrons, which have long been a part of the ...

The electron remains stubbornly round, meaning we may need to build beyond the Large Hadron Collider to find physics outside of the standard model.

Single particle cryo-EM helps to determine the three-dimensional structure of molecules and assemblies without crystallizing the samples.
