A surprising connection has been found, between two seemingly very different classes of superconductors. In a new material, atoms are distributed irregularly, but still manage to create long-range ...

Werner Heisenberg submitted a paper to Zeitschrift für Physik entitled ‘On quantum-theoretical reinterpretation of kinematic and mechanical relationships’, thus giving birth to quantum mechanics. In ...

The interaction between the metal atom and the annulenes in sandwich compounds is said to be ‘out-of-plane’, because the metal atom is held above or below the planes of the annulenes.

When an atom absorbs energy—such as from ... In rare earth elements, the glow results from electron transitions between 4f orbitals—regions around the atomic nucleus where electrons can ...

In RIT’s physics degree, you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of the basic principles governing the structure and behavior of matter, the generation and transfer of energy, and the interactions of ...

has consecutively removed the innermost atom and the outermost electron of a gold nanoparticle—without disturbing its overall structure. This precise manipulation allowed them to probe how the ...

Similar to main group elements, actinides can participate in π or σ interactions, primarily through electron density donation from the ligand to the actinide’s 6d orbitals and, to a lesser extent, the ...
