What happens when electrons leave a solid material? This seemingly simple phenomenon has, until now, eluded accurate ...

Real particles are lumps of energy that can be "seen" or detected by appropriate instruments; this feature is what makes them ...

A team of researchers from TU Wien has shed new light on the behavior of electrons fleeing a solid material. Their research ...

So how do you get an electron to float on top of helium? To find out, Ars spoke with Johannes Pollanen, the chief scientific officer of EeroQ, the company that accomplished the new work. He said that ...

When high-energy radiation interacts with water in living organisms, it generates particles and slow-moving electrons that ...

Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise measurements in particle physics.

Very early on in our universe, when it was a seething hot cauldron of energy, particles made of matter and antimatter bubbled ...

Researchers have recently proven that common soil bacteria can use light captured earlier in the day to power chemical work ...

New studies of the “platypus of materials” help explain how their atoms arrange themselves into orderly, but nonrepeating, ...

By miniaturizing THz spectroscopy to a chip-scale platform, James McIver’s lab has uncovered a promising new method for controlling quantum materials. Under certain conditions, two-dimensional (2D) ...

Data centers are turning into electricity factories and the IEA projects global data-center consumption will more than double ...

If you grew up with a CRT TV, you probably remember the static charge of its screen; that's still there, but you probably can ...
