Redox-Chemical Electron Storage on Sub-5 nm Gold Nanoparticles Compromised by Coulomb Repulsion
If, however, a strong reductant is present, the nanoparticles act as an intermediate storage of electrons, so-called nanocathodes, which is compromised by Coulomb repulsion. This leads to an optimal ...

The ‘quantum’ principle that says why atoms are as they are
J. Thomson’s discovery that atoms were not indivisible, but contained smaller, negatively charged entities called electrons — the first subatomic particles to be identified. Then, in 1911 ...

Scientists Just Found a Mind-Bending Way to Control Electrons
Two twisted boron nitride layers (blue and pink) create a crystal lattice at a distance in which electrons (gold) can arrange themselves in a regular pattern. Credit: Natasha Kiper / ETH Zurich ...
