Most of the universe is made up of hydrogen and helium atoms, which came into being after the Big Bang cooled down a little. Heavier atoms are formed during high-energy collisions in stars.

Electrons play many roles in solid materials. When they are weakly bound and able to travel—i.e., mobile—they can enable electrical conduction. When they are bound, or "heavy," they can act as ...

Almost everything on Earth is made up of atoms, but where do these fundamental building blocks come from?

Operationally, the Company drilled four wells in the Mankota area during the first quarter of 2025, in partnership with North American Helium Inc. (“NAH”), two of which discovered helium.

Avanti's professional oil and gas exploration and production team is actively targeting helium trapped in structures to help meet the increasing global demand for an irreplaceable and scarce ...

A momentum microscope is an apparatus that can map the location, momentum and energy of electrons that are ejected from a nanomaterial when it’s hit by ultraviolet laser light. “I don’t know of any ...

For the first time ever, scientists have successfully observed how valence electrons behave in organic molecules. This gives us a clearer picture of the complex nature of chemical bonds that make up ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was experimentally observed for the first time by a team led by Nagoya University in Japan.
