Electrons in graphene just broke their own sound barrier. Scientists created a controllable electronic shockwave inside a ...

Why did they form at that time? Astronomers know from observing distant exploding stars that the size of the universe has ...

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 ...

Developed by researchers at MIT, the method uses the atom’s own electrons as “messengers” within a molecule to help probe ...

Physicists at MIT have developed a new way to probe inside an atom's nucleus, using the atom's own electrons as "messengers" ...

Scientists at Yokohama National University, in collaboration with RIKEN and other institutions in Japan and Korea, have made ...

A research team in Kiel has demonstrated a previously unknown effect in graphene—a single layer of carbon atoms whose discovery earned the 2010 Nobel Prize. For years, graphene has been seen as a ...

A study expands understanding on how electrons move through the conductive parts of complex fluids found in electrochemical devices such as batteries. This work can help overcome existing knowledge ...

The new instrument could lead to better materials for quantum computers and solar cells. Physicist Edoardo Baldini (left) and Sarah Everett, director of global impact and research at Tito’s Handmade ...

The interactions in photovoltaic materials that convert light into electricity happens in femtoseconds. How fast is that? One femtosecond is a quadrillionth of a second­­. To put that in perspective, ...

Kristian Camilleri is an associate professor of history and philosophy of science at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and author of Heisenberg and the Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. In ...
