- Hund’s Rule and why electrons also go by bus
Just like humans when we get on a bus, electrons also have rules and quirks when it comes to choosing their spot in the atom. Find out what they are in this article! - Quantum superposition in a coffee shop line
What do a coffee shop line and quantum superposition have in common? Quite a bit more than it seems… Grab a snack and find out in this video! - How do electrons actually communicate?
Electrons (and all particles in the atomic world) have a very surprising way of communicating: by throwing photons at each other. Discover how in this video!
