Band Theory02:35

Band Theory

17.3K
When two or more atoms come together to form a molecule, their atomic orbitals combine and molecular orbitals of distinct energies result. In a solid, there are a large number of atoms, and therefore a large number of atomic orbitals that may be combined into molecular orbitals. These groups of molecular orbitals are so closely placed together to form continuous regions of energies, known as the bands.
The energy difference between these bands is known as the band gap.

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

The Atomic Theory of Matter

130.2K
The earliest recorded discussion of the basic structure of matter comes from ancient Greek philosophers. Leucippus and Democritus argued that all matter was composed of small, finite particles that they called atomos, meaning “indivisible.” Later, Aristotle and others came to the conclusion that matter consisted of various combinations of the four “elements” — fire, earth, air, and water — and could be infinitely divided. Interestingly, these philosophers...

Social Exchange Theory

We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Evolutionary Biology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Complex genomic rearrangements (CGRs) are critical in disease and evolution.
  • The mechanisms underlying CGRs have been poorly understood.
  • A newly identified process, chromothripsis, involves massive chromosomal shattering and reassembly.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the implications of chromothripsis for understanding the genesis of CGRs.
  • To investigate the potential role of chromothripsis in species evolution and speciation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent discoveries and literature on chromothripsis.
  • Comparative analysis with existing macroevolutionary models.

Main Results:

  • Chromothripsis represents a distinct mechanism for generating CGRs within a single cellular event.
  • The occurrence of chromothripsis aligns with macroevolutionary theories, complementing gradualistic models.
  • This phenomenon provides a potential mechanism linking chromosome rearrangements to speciation.

Conclusions:

  • Chromothripsis fundamentally alters our understanding of genomic rearrangement formation.
  • The process has significant implications for evolutionary biology and speciation.
  • Further research into chromothripsis is warranted to elucidate its full impact on evolution.
