By placing single-atom-thick adlayers of p-block metals on commonly employed gold electrodes (d-block), a research team at ...

Electron movement and structures described in quantum physics allow researchers to better understand how and why materials like superconductors behave as they do. Rice University researchers Jianwei ...

Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: electrical conductivity, magnetism, or novel quantum effects. Anyone aiming to ...

Electrons in graphene break a key law of metals and reveal a strange quantum fluid. The discovery has surprised scientists.

Using this technique, the team was able to generate electron pulses lasting just a single attosecond, allowing them to observe ultrafast electron motion that normally can’t be seen. The researchers ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have discovered that molecular vibrations can act like a catapult, flinging ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Electron microscopy has existed for nearly a century, but a record ...

On New York's Long Island, scientists are building an ambitious machine to tease apart the mysteries held inside atomic nuclei. A major component of that system is the world's highest voltage electron ...

Techniques resulting from the work of Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier let scientists capture the motions of subatomic particles moving at impossible speeds. By Emma Bubola and ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...
