Researchers have successfully created electron-photon pairs in a controlled way in an electron microscope. Researchers from Göttingen (Germany) and Lausanne (Switzerland) have successfully created ...

FREE electrons with thermal energy react readily with the molecules of many chemical substances; since the free electron may be regarded as the simplest free radical, an unattached valence bond, and ...

Free radicals are unstable atoms or molecules with free outer electrons. This makes them highly reactive because free electrons always strive to form a stable bond. This stabilization involves gaining ...

Scientists have discovered a new way in which high-energy radiation in water can release slow electrons. Free electrons play a major role in chemical processes. In particular, they might be ...

‘Green’ reducing agents could help tackle climate change and treat contaminated water. When scientists shine low-intensity near-ultraviolet light on metal nanoparticles, electrons in the nanoparticles ...

Electrons — the negatively charged particles around atoms — have split "personalities," and act one way or the other depending on how many of them are around, new research suggests. The finding could ...
