Not exact matches

When atoms come together to form molecules, electrons on different atoms pair up to form bonds that lock the molecule together.

Superconductivity occurs when electrons come together in a material in Cooper pairs that can move unimpeded through the material.

Now, a pair of scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich have proposed the first solution to such subatomic stoppage: a novel way to create a more robust electron wave by binding together the electron's direction of movement and its spin.

In a conventional superconductor electrons with opposite spins are paired together so that a flow of electrons carries zero spin.

The ideas they worked on together are now known as BCS theory and provide a description of the superconducting state in terms of interactions between pairs of electrons.
