A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...

VSEPR theory provides a practical way to predict the 3D shapes of molecules by focusing on how electron pairs repel each other. This model explains why atoms arrange in specific geometries, from ...

For the first time, scientists have measured the 'shape' of an electron in solids, opening the door to advances in quantum ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Tohoku University and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency have developed fundamental experiments and theories to manipulate the geometry of the 'electron universe,' which ...

An electron is trapped in a quantum dot, which is formed in a two-dimensional gas in a semiconductor wafer. However, the electron moves within the space and, with different probabilities corresponding ...
