Learn how to calculate the force on an electron in the presence of two charges in this beginner-friendly physics tutorial! In this video, we break down the concepts, formulas, and step-by-step ...

Through a new scanning transmission electron microscopy method, researchers are able to observe electron distribution between atoms and molecules and uncover clues to the origins of ferroelectricity, ...

Nothing is more emblematic of an electron than its negative charge. It’s the trait that determines how the particle behaves in electromagnetic environments, such as a wire’s electric field and Earth’s ...

Visualizing the mechanism of charge transfer between two oxides. (Courtesy: W Gao, UC Irvine) Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) can be used to detect electric charge density as well as ...

Note: This video is designed to help the teacher better understand the lesson and is NOT intended to be shown to students. It includes observations and conclusions that students are meant to make on ...

You may be familiar with matryoshka dolls: nested sets of painted figurines that fit within painted figurines. In the case of wooden dolls, the concept is pretty straightforward: hollow out a large ...

For the first time, physicists have watched a beam of positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a stream of tiny ...
