RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special ...

Excitons are pairs of bound negatively charged electrons and positively charged holes that form in semiconductors, enabling ...

Ultracold atoms have successfully mimicked a fundamental quantum effect normally found in electronic circuits.

A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before.

A team at UNIGE has uncovered a geometric structure once thought to be purely theoretical at the core of quantum materials, opening the door to major advances in future electronics. How can ...

That barrier has now been shattered. Researchers have generated a 19.2-attosecond soft X-ray pulse, effectively building the fastest camera ever made, one capable of capturing electron dynamics in ...

Researchers develop a method to count thorium-229 nuclear ticks, paving the way for high-precision nuclear clocks and sensors.

Because of their superlative reducing power and fascinating unresolved questions regarding their structure, solvated electrons remain a very active subject of research. Dating back to the initial ...

In this video, we explore cathode rays, the science behind super-fast electrons, and how they lead to the discovery of X-rays. We break down the history, physics, and applications of these phenomena, ...

Note: This video is designed to help the teacher better understand the lesson and is NOT intended to be shown to students. It includes observations and conclusions that students are meant to make on ...

I first learned of this area of research as a graduate student in physical chemistry. My doctoral adviser’s group had a project dedicated to studying chemical reactions with attosecond pulses. Before ...

The best glimpse yet of electrons moving in a magnetic field has revealed that the particles’ behaviour differs strongly from what is predicted by classical physics but is consistent with ...
