In atomic theory and quantum mechanics, an atomic orbital is a mathematical function describing the location and wave-like behavior of an electron in an atom. This function can be used to calculate ...

In 1974, Aviram and Ratner proposed an intriguing vision: could a single molecule act as a functional component, such as a diode? It was a bold idea that inspired generations of theorists, yet this ...

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) are the first to directly utilize orbital currents without the need for conversion of the orbital current into a spin current.
