The ability to precisely study and manipulate electrons in electron microscopes could open new possibilities for the development of both ultrafast imaging techniques and quantum technologies.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and collaborators have a new way to use data from high-energy particle smashups to peer inside protons. Their ...

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can emerge ...

An international team of researchers has synthesized a carbon chain molecule with a never-before-seen electronic twist and ...

Researchers have made a meaningful advance in the simulation of molecular electron transfer -- a fundamental process underpinning countless physical, chemical and biological processes. The study ...

Quantum chemistry is helping scientists understand why some chemical reactions succeed while others fail, by showing how the movement of electrons affects each step ...

Tuning electron interactions in iron telluride selenide controls superconducting and topological phases, offering a pathway to more stable quantum computing. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at West ...

Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) in semiconductor heterostructures, particularly in quantum wells and two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs), has emerged as a pivotal mechanism in spintronics and quantum ...

The behavior of electrons on a single-crystal gold surface was investigated. On the Au(111) surface, a difference in the magnitude of the electrons' in-plane momentum component (proportional to the in ...

Superradiance When multiple electrons emit light in a coordinated manner, the resulting emission is much stronger than the sum of individual emissions. (Courtesy ...
