It would be great if you could cool the water and immobilise the molecules, though keeping the structure, because when it's frozen, when it's immobilised, you can have it in the electron microscope and the water will not evaporate because in the electron microscope, it must be under vacuum, and water at normal temperature evaporates.

Swiss Scientist

Gilbert Newton Lewis

We may say that a basic substance is one which has a lone pair of electrons which may be used to complete the stable group of another atom, and that an acid is one which can employ a lone pair from another molecule in completing the stable group of one of its own atoms.

American Scientist

Tom Freston

I always imagined myself somehow as an electron around some atom, and you're just, like, bouncing around and spinning. There was a never-ending supply of places to go, people to see, things to do, and fitting it all in became kind of an art.

American Businessman

Werner Heisenberg

The uncertainty relation does not refer to the past; if the velocity of the electron is at first known and the position then exactly measured, the position for times previous to the measurement may be calculated.

German Physicist

Ivar Giaever

While classical mechanics correctly predicts the behavior of large objects such as tennis balls, to predict the behavior of small objects such as electrons, we must use quantum mechanics.

Norwegian Physicist

Johannes Stark

We have learnt through experience that when an electrical ray strikes the surface of an atom, an electron, and in some circumstances a second and even a third electron, can be detached.

Physicist

Gunter Blobel

In basic research, the use of the electron microscope has revealed to us the complex universe of the cell, the basic unit of life.

German Scientist

Fabiola Gianotti

We had to understand things like why the top quark was so heavy and the electron is so light. The Higgs is a big, important step.

Italian Physicist

Erik Prince

There are some phone calls where it's not even worth wasting the electrons on.

Frederick Reines

In 1956 we observed the electron antineutrino.

American Physicist

Electrons are fundamental for understanding atoms in physics and chemistry.

Atomic Structure

Electrons carry a negative charge that balances the positive charge of protons.

Negative Charge

Movement of electrons creates electricity, a fundamental concept in physics.

Electricity Basics

Electrons are essential in circuits and devices, controlling functions in electronics.

Electronics Role

Electron flows are managed by semiconductors in modern technology and computers.

Semiconductor Control

Electron beams can be used in welding, medical treatments, and even printers.

Beam Applications

 is intimately connected to those distant, invisible galaxies. We can think of them as part of our universe. They make up a single, giant edifice obeying the same physical laws and all made from the same types of atoms, electrons, protons, quarks, neutrinos, that make up you and me.

Questions No One Knows...

 what each of these particles is, things like photons and electrons. Now, the detectors take snapshots of about a billion of these collisions per second to find signs of extremely rare massive particles. To add to the difficulty, the particles we're looking for may be unstable

Could we create dark...

 ultimately depends on the basic laws of physics it depends on the size of molecules which depends on the size of atoms which depends on fundamental properties of the universe like the strength of the force of electromagnetism and the mass of an electron and when you do those

 like a particle. But if you repeat this experiment many times, keeping track of all the individual detections, you'll see them trace out a pattern that's characteristic of wave a set of stripes - regions with many electrons separated by regions where there are none at all.

 making more electrons available for oxidation the next time you need them. But even rechargeable batteries don't last forever. Over time, the repetition of this process causes imperfections and irregularities in the metal's surface that prevent it from oxidizing properly.

How batteries work -...

 The answer can be found in the strange phenomena of quantum entanglement. Entanglement is an old mystery from the early days of quantum physics and it's still not entirely understood. Entangling the spin of two electrons results in an influence that transcends distance.

Will we ever be able to...

 so electrons, quarks, neutrinos, photons, all other particles would be united into a single framework, as they would all arise from vibrating strings. It's a compelling picture, a kind of cosmic symphony, where all the richness that we see in the world around us

Why is our universe...

 The universe at this time was piping hot and it churned with electrons, quarks, and other particles. Then came the electroweak epoch, when the last two forces, electromagnetic and weak, finally split off. During the next stage, the quark epoch,
