BUFFALO, N.Y. — You probably learned in high school chemistry class that core electrons don’t participate in chemical bonding. They’re thought to be too deep inside an atom and close to the nucleus to ...

Researchers resolve the age-old mystery of why silicon cannot replace carbon in organic compounds. A new benchmark quantum chemical calculation of C2, Si2, and their hydrides for the first time ...

Visualization of the nano-world is a key component in many modern academic institutions. However, to harness the power of this expansive technique, as well as other essentials of cutting-edge research ...

At their core, electron microscopes work a lot like a movie projectors. A high-powered beam passes through a material and it projects something — usually something we really want to see — onto a ...

You probably learned in high school chemistry class that core electrons don’t participate in chemical bonding. They’re thought to be too deep inside an atom and close to the nucleus to meaningfully ...

A University at Buffalo study provides new insights about core electrons, including their role in the B1-B2 transition that sees a compound's atomic crystal structure rearrange from an octahedral ...
