Single-molecule magnets are coordination clusters with magnetic properties that are typically reliant on the coupling between pairs of metal centres. Now, a cluster in which magnetism arises from ...

Interactions between electrons make it hard to predict the properties of exotic metals, such as plutonium. Better calculations that include a thorough treatment of electronic structure are the answer.

Researchers have achieved real-time capture of the ionization process and subsequent structural changes in gas-phase molecules through an enhanced mega-electronvolt ultrafast electron diffraction (MeV ...

Credit: Hung H. Nguyen/University of IowaWhen exposed to radiation, electrons produced within molten zinc chloride, or ZnCl 2, can be observed in three distinct singly occupied molecular orbital ...

Researchers from the Institute of Molecular Science and Technologies (ISTM-CNR, Italy), Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), and the University of Milan have experimentally confirmed a ...

Very unusual atomic states are being produced: Ions are created by removing not just one but 20 to 40 electrons from each atom. These 'highly charged ions' play an important role in current research.

Researchers were able to demonstrate that the electrons in graphene are extremely mobile and react very quickly. Impacting xenon ions with a particularly high electric charge on a graphene film causes ...
