A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...

Cycloaddition reactions represent a cornerstone of synthetic organic chemistry, facilitating the formation of cyclic structures through concerted pericyclic processes. Traditionally explained via ...

Covalent bonds, in which two atoms are bound together by sharing a pair of electrons, form the scaffolding that underpins the majority of organic compounds. In 1931, the Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling ...

A newly measured value of an electron’s magnetic moment 1 — a property of its spin and charge — is twice as precise as the one physicists have used for the past 14 years. The electron magnetic moment ...

Résumé of the many-electron problem -- The occupation number representation (second quantization) -- The Hartree-Fock method and the free-electron gas -- Plasma oscillations in a free-electron gas -- ...

Using a new method, physicists found a way to 'catapult' electrons across solar materials in quadrillionths of a second.
