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 ...

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 ...

Electron microscopy is capable of determining protein structures down to 1.2 Å resolution and resolving proteins as small as 64 kDa. However, these examples are the most ideal cases (rigid, ...

Valence electrons, located in the outermost shell of an atom, play an important role in driving chemical reactions and forming bonds with other atoms. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest ...

Electron microscopy allows researchers to visualize the morphological effects of biological, genetic, and physical perturbations by diving into tissues and cells. Images collected on our microscopes ...

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 ...
