Evidence has been found for a new type of electron pairing that may broaden the search for new high-temperature superconductors. The findings provide the basis for a unifying description of how ...

Why does changing just one proton in the nucleus of an atom create a different element? The number of protons in an atomic nucleus determines the number of electrons needed for a neutral atom, ...

Clusters of atoms are generally only stable enough to form superatoms when they have filled electron shells, so how can they have magnetic properties? To understand the design of magnetic superatoms, ...

The electrons that make up molecules are organized by energy in orbitals 1,2. Although total electron density in molecules is routinely measured by X-ray diffraction or electron scattering, only two ...

UPTON, NY--A team of scientists has found evidence for a new type of electron pairing that may broaden the search for new high-temperature superconductors. The findings, described in the journal ...
