    Atoms in a Vacuum: Valance Electrons & Energy Output

    If I had a group of ten atoms in a vacuum what effect if any would raising the valance electrons per atom have on the other atoms? The second question is that when the conduction electron falls back to being a valance electron is all the energy given off as photons or is some heat (proportion?)...

    MATLAB Create a GUI with GUIDE - Can You Edit the Output?

    Whenever we use GUIDE to create a GUI, GUIDE generates an m-file. Now, is it possible for one to use this m-file generated by GUIDE to re-edit the GUI? I mean say I downloaded an m-file from the internet which has a GUI interface. Can I use GUIDE to edit the m-file and "tweak" the interface to...
