Yet even at this apparently late date in the field’s development, there are companies that are still developing entirely new qubit technologies, betting the company that they have identified something ...

We can now detect single electrons with the resolution of a few trillionths of a second, and this could prove essential for building a new generation of quantum electronic devices. Traditional ...

When quantum electrodynamics, the quantum field theory of electrons and photons, was being developed after World War II, one of the major challenges for theorists was calculating a value for the Lamb ...

The 20th Century saw the shrouds surrounding the mysteries of science and creation being pulled back to reveal a universe of incredible, awe-inspiring wonder. From large galaxies millions of light ...

Researchers have discovered a stable single-electron covalent bond between two carbon atoms, confirming Linus Pauling’s 1931 theory. The study utilized oxidation of hexaphenylethane and analysis with ...

About 90 years ago, American chemical engineer Linus Pauling proposed a unique concept. He suggested that two atoms don’t necessarily require two or more electrons to form a bond, one electron ...

A research team from Hokkaido University has confirmed a century-old theory by discovering a stable single-electron covalent bond, known as a sigma bond, between two carbon atoms. This unique bond ...

Using an X-ray diffractor to study the sigma bond. Credit: Yusuke Ishigaki Covalent bonds, the very backbone of organic compounds, are formed when two atoms share a pair of electrons. Back in 1931, ...
