Marcus had discovered a calculation that violated the law of conservation of energy, a bedrock scientific principle, tucked inside a new theory on electron behavior.

That doesn’t mean every electron comes from solar or wind, but it does mean Google can claim to be offsetting its power use with low-carbon-emissions sources that use almost no water.

Eventual analysis with scanning electron microscopy at the Canadian Museum of Nature allowed researchers to confirm it as a probable embolomere.

That threshold falls to roughly 10 electron volts when fluorine is added and about 14 electron volts when oxygen is used.

Rutherford’s finding presented some large and immediate problems, not least that no electron should be able to orbit a nucleus without crashing.

The Marcus Theory, as it came to be known, provides a mathematical way to determine how fast or slow, or in what direction, electrons jump between molecules without breaking chemical bonds.

To investigate the process, Montemore and co-author Santu Biswas, a postdoctoral fellow in Tulane's Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, used computer simulations to model how atoms and electrons behave.

Their work expanded on Niels Bohr's early atomic model, which pictured electrons orbiting the nucleus much like planets orbit the sun.

"At absolute zero temperatures - that is, the world of quantum physics - no sound is created unless electrons travel collectively at the speed of sound or above," Hilke explained.

In other words, if one used equipment designed to examine electrons as particles, they would appear to behave as particles; if one used equipment best suited for detecting waves, they appeared as waves.
