Atomic orbitals exist, sort of. The lobes, spheres, and donuts familiar to many chemists are like a map of where you might find electrons around a nucleus. The geometric patterns and motifs that atoms ...
Scientists have calculated how it is possible to look inside the atom to image individual electron orbitals. An electron microscope can't just snap a photo like a mobile phone camera can. The ability ...

Phys.org: Not just spin—electron orbitals can provide new method for controlling magnetism
Researchers have demonstrated that electron orbitals, not just spin, can serve as a practical lever for controlling magnetism in solid-state devices. A series of recent experiments and theoretical ...
Science Daily: Observing the unobservable: Researchers measure electron orbitals of molecules in 3D
Many of you will remember them from your physics lessons at school: often represented as colourful clouds or balloons, electron orbitals provide information on the whereabouts of the electrons in ...
The lanthanide elements’ 4f electron orbitals are notoriously shy and retiring, and they were long thought to be unwilling partners in chemical bonding. Now chemists have brought out a surprising ...
