Chem. 2017, DOI: 10.1038/nchem.2716). Helium’s best known feature is its unwillingness to react. With a stable closed-shell electron configuration, zero electron affinity, and an ionization ...

The research has enabled the visualization of the motion of electrons on liquid helium. An international team led by Lancaster University has discovered how electrons can slither rapidly to-and ...

Future quantum computers could be based on electrons floating above liquid helium, according to study ... state and the spin state of a floating electron. The charge state of the electron allows ...

Humphrey Maris, a physics professor at Brown University, and Wei Guo, a Brown doctoral student, were able to film the electron as it moved through a container of superfluid helium. To observe the ...
