Working as a collaborative research team, Tatsuo Kaneyasu (SAGA Light Source/Institute for Molecular Science), Yasumasa Hikosaka (University of Toyama), Masahiro Katoh (Hiroshima University/Institute ...
The first step in many light-driven chemical reactions, like the ones that power photosynthesis and human vision, is a shift in the arrangement of a molecule's electrons as they absorb the light's ...
(Nanowerk News) It is well known that a flow of electrons passing through a material, that is, an electric current, increases the temperature of this material due to the so-called Joule effect. This ...
The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was observed for the first time. As the interactions between atoms are governed by the valence electrons ...
Have you heard of an x-ray laser before? Did you know that there is a huge x-ray laser in the heart of Silicon Valley in California that can help us discover a myriad of information about the Universe ...
Recent advances in electron density analysis and X‐ray diffraction studies have dramatically refined our understanding of atomic and molecular structures. By employing cutting‐edge techniques that ...
Scientists can track the movements of an atom's nucleus relatively easily, but electrons have proven elusive -- they move so fast that they tend to be reduced to blurs. Now, however, those movements ...
