Valence Electron

And it's faaaaaab-ulous.

Scientists have created an n-channel transistor using diamond for the first time, potentially leading to faster components that can work in extreme conditions.

Scientists are slowly getting to the bottom of how some of the universe's most mind-bending worlds came to be.

It's been a long time since I updated this blog. I keep saying I want to get back to it, but every time I post anything, it leads to a stream of abuse from trolls and crackpots, and the frust…

The end of Daylight Savings Time could be on the horizon, if the House takes it up this fall, but Congress doesn't really change time

Hydrogen is not a metal on Earth, but scientists keep trying to create metallic hydrogen under high pressure to unlock a new superconductor.

Lincoln Laboratory, in collaboration with MIT and Harvard, demonstrated the first quantum interaction with a nanophotonic quantum memory across a deployed telecommunications fiber — a foundational step toward scalable quantum networking.

A Chinese team has published new work in Energy Material Advances.

An international research team gained new insights into the chemical properties of the superheavy element flerovium—element 114—at the accelerator facilities of the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt. The measurements show that flerovium is the most volatile metal in the periodic table. Flerovium is thus the heaviest element in the periodic table that has been chemically studied.

His new study offers a path to predict matter's behavior under heat.

A team of physicists has produced pure trilobite molecules in rubidium over a wide range of frequencies and characterize their binding energies, lifetimes, and dipole moments.

The bonds between clusters of elements in the fourteenth group of the periodic table are known to be fickle. Ranging from the nonmetal carbon, to the metalloids silicon and germanium, to the metals tin and lead, all these elements share the same configuration of valence electrons—electrons in their atoms' outermost energy level.

Researchers from Skoltech, Jiangsu Normal University, and elsewhere have predicted unexpected compounds formed by lithium and cesium under high pressure. These new substances display unexpected chemistry and never-before-seen crystal structures, and possess the much sought-after property of superconductivity, losing any electrical resistance below the critical temperatures of around minus 223 to minus 213 degrees…

A single-element ferroelectric state is observed in a black phosphorus-like bismuth layer, in which the ordered charge transfer and the regular atom distortion between sublattices happen simultaneously and ferroelectric switching is further visualized experimentally.

Our world is often described as "the digital age," but in reality, we're only living in the latest chapter of the electric revolution.

Researchers have demonstrated that a solid can exhibit an enhanced nonlinear optical phenomenon usually seen only in cold atomic gases.

Theorists predict that an atomic gas could be magnetized using only lasers, something that could provide a noninvasive way to quickly manipulate the magnetic properties of the gas.
