That means all of the elements in the third period — sodium, magnesium, aluminum ... table (called a "group") have identical valence electron configurations and consequently behave in a similar ...

However, it has been difficult to experimentally isolate only the valence electron information, leading to researchers having to rely on theoretical models and spectroscopy to estimate it. By ...

At the lab, an electron microscope scans the cells and sends X-rays through them. Different minerals in your cells release different amounts of energy. The test can see how much magnesium you have ...

A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that ... graphene and magnesium diboride (MgB 2). The researchers chose to test their theory on graphene ...

The international scientific community agrees that the latest findings of an FAU research team will revolutionise the entire chemistry of magnesium. The research team have discovered magnesium, which ...
