SP hybridization occurs when one s orbital and one p orbital from the same atom combine to form two new orbitals of equal energy. These new orbitals are linearly oriented 180 degrees apart, leading to ...

However, until now, they had not been used to simulate orbital hybridization—a fundamental process in real atoms where orbitals of different shapes and symmetries mix to form new, hybrid orbitals.

NVIDIA has announced it plans to build a new platform for small computers, analogous to its Ion platform for Atom-based netbooks and nettops, but using VIA's Nano processor. NVIDIA also told ...

"This means that due to the wave nature of electrons, there are parts of the hybrid orbitals where electrons are absent, much different to the image that many people have of a continuous 'cloud ...

Quantum dots, often called artificial atoms, can mimic atomic orbitals but have not yet been used to simulate orbital hybridization, a crucial process in real atoms. While quantum dots have ...
