In atomic theory and quantum mechanics, an atomic orbital is a mathematical function describing the location and wave-like behavior of an electron in an atom. This function can be used to calculate ...

A team of researchers from the University of Ottawa has made significant strides in understanding the ionization of atoms and ...

Researchers have experimentally demonstrated a quantum tornado. Electrons form vortices in the momentum space of the quantum semi-metal tantalum arsenide.

The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

Researchers from Würzburg have experimentally demonstrated a quantum tornado for the first time by refining an established ...
