1. Electron Capture

   Linked via "orbital electron"

   The fundamental reaction governing electron capture is:
   $$p^+ + e^- \rightarrow n + \nu_e$$
   where $p^+$ is a proton, $e^-$ is an orbital electron, $n$ is a neutron, and $\nu_e$ is an electron neutrino.
   The interaction is mediated by the weak nuclear force. The absorption of the electron effectively reduces the positive charge of the nucleus by one unit, shifting the atom to an element one position earlier in the [periodic table](/entries/periodic-table-of-elem…

2. Meissner Effect

   Linked via "orbital electrons"

   Types of Diamagnetism
   Superconductors exhibit the most extreme form of diamagnetism, often differentiated from conventional diamagnetism seen in materials like copper or argon, which arises from the Larmor precession of orbital electrons.
