No chemical reaction or energy transfer process can take place without electrons, as they are responsible for forming and breaking chemical bonds. Therefore, to control and manipulate chemical ...

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

Researchers have made the first direct observations of free-electron Landau states -— a form of quantized states that electrons adopt when moving through a magnetic field- — and found that the ...

The question is from a student in Mrs. Alexander's seventh-grade science class at Smithton Middle School. A: "An electron is both a wave and a particle. You cannot pinpoint exactly where it is as any ...

Can scientists image the motion of electrons inside atoms? It’s a challenging problem, but solving it would help us develop a more complete understanding of things like chemical reactions and the ...

Physicists have created the world’s fastest microscope, and it’s so quick that it can spot electrons in motion. The new device, a newer version of a transmission electron microscope, captures images ...

(Nanowerk News) Topological insulators are exotic materials, discovered just a few years ago, that hold great promise for new kinds of electronic devices. The unusual behavior of electrons within them ...

That barrier has now been shattered. Researchers have generated a 19.2-attosecond soft X-ray pulse, effectively building the ...

Scientists have harnessed an imaging technique to create a 3-D visualization of electrons moving at nearly light speed on and in a futuristic material that could replace silicon in electronic devices ...

Behold, the world’s fastest microscope: it works at such an astounding speed that it’s the first-ever device capable of capturing a clear image of moving electrons. This is a potentially ...

Researchers in the US have gained important new insights into how electrons travel through nanoscale metal wires. They discovered that the force with which electrons push atoms around in these ...

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