First, let's explore the atom's architecture. Formed from a cluster of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom, a nucleus is 10,000 times smaller than the atom as a whole, "like a fly in a ...

Semiconductors are at the heart of most electronics, but have you ever wondered how one works? In this article, we explain what semiconductors are; how they work, with an eye to N-type vs. P-type ...

If atoms were compressed, then these shells would be forced closer together, but because electrons are negatively charged, they tend to repel one another due to electrostatic force.

A traditional “single bond” is actually two electrons—one from each atom. This is one electron. The fragile bond required outside-the-box thinking, with a complex molecule acting as a shell.
