🎓 In Quantum Mechanics an orbital is a mathematical function which portrays the wave-like behavior of an electron pair, electron or nucleons.
Atomic orbitals are the 3D regions of space around the nucleus of an atom. Atomic orbitals allow the atoms to make covalent bonds. s, p, d and f orbitals are the most commonly filled orbitals. These orbitals have a variety of shapes. As defined by the Pauli Exclusion Principle, only two electrons can be found in any orbital space.
But there are also nodes. Node is a region where the probability of finding the electron will be zero. The nodal plane is the plane that passes through the nucleus on which the probability of finding an electron is zero.

AI-powered microscopes.
Light field microscopy allows the neuronal signals in the brain to be imaged in real time, but the images are often lacking quality and take a long time to process for visualisation. European Molecular Biology Laboratory scientists are using artificial intelligence to boost the image processing speeds from days to seconds.

Deep learning-enhanced light-field imaging with continuous validation
A deep learning–based algorithm enables efficient reconstruction of light-field microscopy data at video rate. In addition, concurrently acquired light-sheet microscopy data provide ground truth data for training, validation and refinement of the algorithm.
Controlled ionisation.
Ionization energy is one of the most important physicochemical parameters. Kazan Federal University physicists have described how the ionisation energy of atoms contained in photonic crystals can be tuned, allowing the synthesis of new compounds to be accessed.
The work has recently been published in Physics Letters A: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0375960121002711?via%3Dihub
