A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Hamburg and the Department of Physics at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, together with the Center for ...

Researchers have measured how electrons in so-called transition metals get redistributed within a fraction of an optical oscillation cycle. They observed the electrons getting concentrated around the ...

It’s a helpful rule of thumb: Main group elements prefer forming bonds that give them eight valence electrons; transition metals go for 18 electrons. Now scientists have shown that main group elements ...

Chemists have recently explored protactinium's multiple resemblances to more completely understand the relationship between the transition metals and the complex chemistry of the early actinide ...

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) represent one of the most promising families of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials in advanced materials research. Characterized by their MX₂ formula—where M ...
