An international group of researchers from the University of Freiburg's Institute of Physics has created and directly controlled hybrid electron-photon quantum states in helium atoms.

The carbon monoxide molecule consists of one oxygen atom and one carbon atom. The X-ray beam now had exactly the right amount of energy to dislodge one of the electrons from the innermost electron ...

Hands on with Electron, the cellular mobile Arduino-like controller thing Hardware with services lowers learning curve of adding cloud and app connections to devices.

If an atom could be enlarged such that we could see it with the naked eye, what would it look like? This question was originally answered on Quora by Dave Consiglio.

The electron from each hydrogen atom and the electrons from the oxygen atom get to be near more protons when the atoms are bonded together as a molecule than when they are separated as individual ...

Photosynthesis is the process plants, algae and some bacteria use to turn sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.

If, during that time, the excited oxygen atom has a collision or chemical reaction with other elements, it could shed that energy before it has a chance to release it as a photon. This happens at ...

The observation of free electron-light interactions was facilitated by the discovery of a technique known as photon-induced near-field electron microscopy (PINEM).

However, even after emitting that green photon, the oxygen atom finds itself in yet another excited state with no allowed relaxation.

When two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom get close enough, the electron from each atom feels an attraction from the protons in the other atom's nucleus. This attraction pulls the atoms together. The ...
