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

Scientists at TU Wien found that electrons need specific “doorway states” to escape solids, not just energy. The insight ...

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Hamburg have discovered a striking new form of quantum behavior. In star-shaped Kagome crystals—named after a ...

A study shows electrons escape solids only through quantum doorways that appear in layered materials, changing how we understand emission.

The team used intense X-rays to confirm a key theoretical concept that explains a material's conductivity crash.

Scientists have developed a new method that can help them probe inside atom’s nucleus. Developed by researchers at MIT, the method uses the atom’s own electrons as “messengers” within a molecule to ...

The performance of photodetectors based on quantum dots may be improved by exploiting a process called multiple exciton generation. Sargent and colleagues suggest that this enhanced gain results from ...

A novel experiment has revealed a phenomenon called the Bohr–Weisskopf effect in a pear-shaped nucleus in a molecule for the ...

IN the past few years, physicists have been much engaged by the phenomenon of supraconductivity. It is well known that various metals, when cooled below a certain very low temperature, characteristic ...

Ernest Rutherford's family emigrated from England to New Zealand before he was born. They ran a successful farm near Nelson, where Ernest was born. One of 12 children, he liked the hard work and open ...
