Nitrogen gas (N2) is one of the most abundant yet highly stable gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Its N≡N triple bond has an ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When ...

While researchers have long suspected that this type of nitrogen that lacks two specific electrons -- a nitrene -- was tied to reactivity, the elusive species had yet to be directly spotted.

In something akin to a double-slit experiment, scientists at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, in co-operation with researchers from the California Institute of Technology in ...

The northern lights arise when electrons from space cascade into the upper atmosphere, where they collide with oxygen and nitrogen molecules to paint the sky red and green (SN: 2/7/20). But it has ...

ITHACA, N.Y. - A collaboration between researchers from Cornell, Harvard, Stanford and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has resulted in a reactive copper-nitrene catalyst that pries apart ...

The electrons scattered inelastically from Si 3 N 4 also diffract from the gold sample, making the Bragg spots larger. Spatial alignment of the gas jet, ...
