Places for electrons

Usage examples of orbitals.

Secretary Sakherji: First, quite frankly, there are still a great many botanicals, half-humans, and gengineers here on Earth, and we have told the Orbitals that how we treat them depends on how they respond to our demands.

Unfortunately, our numbers may be so much reduced that it will prove difficult to maintain a mechanical technology unless we appeal to the Orbitals for raw materials and technical assistance.

The Orbitals had raw materials and energy and technical expertise in plenty, and they would surely be asked to help.

Earthly antennas, and that the Orbitals had found other uses for the power.

The idea was that if a missile destroyed the Station, the ODC would still be there, still be functioning, still be able to coordinate the defense of all the other Orbitals and their homes.

Once there, they would replace the rocks Thor had expended to defend the Orbitals and punish the Engineers.

If the Engineers kept up their attempts to attack the Orbitals, if the warheads kept betraying their age and instability, if Duncan kept on throwing rocks, food, water, and air would be contaminated with radioactive fallout.

They would soon be ready for all the refugees the Orbitals could deliver.

Not for the first time, he thanked fate--or God, or fortune--that the Orbitals had found the Q-drive.

The Orbitals, the refugees they had saved, they would be above the poisoned world, safe.

The organization of electrons into Schrodinger orbitals and pseudo-orbitals, made possible with great precision in a designer quantum dot.
