Copper, platinum, aluminum, gold. Metals have been so important in human history that we’ve named historical epochs (the Bronze Age, the Iron Age) for their transformative power. These materials, with ...

A study showing how electrons flow around sharp bends, such as those found in integrated circuits, has the potential to improve how these circuits, commonly used in electronic and optoelectronic ...

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 ...

Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers, and more, through the movement of electrons within a ...

Scientists have developed tunable materials that let free electrons move and interact in new ways, opening paths to faster computing, smarter machines, and advanced catalysts. (Nanowerk News) Imagine ...

The basis of electronic band structure is the fact that electrons move around the atomic nucleus in orbitals, which have discrete energy levels. When atoms come together to form a solid, electrons can ...

No chemical reaction or energy transfer process can take place without electrons, as they are responsible for forming and ...

Scientists have found a way to control electrons in molecules using tailor-made terahertz light pulses, offering new possibilities for advanced technologies. Scientists at YOKOHAMA National University ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully mapped the shape of an electron while it moves through a solid. This ...

The motion of whizzing electrons has been captured like never before. Researchers have developed a laser-based microscope that snaps images at attosecond — or a billionth of a billionth of a second — ...
