“Dark” electrons within solid materials may help us learn more about the behaviour of high-temperature superconductors, and perhaps solve other mysteries in material science. Most of a material’s ...

Researchers announced that they have achieved the world's first elucidation of how hydrogen produces free electrons through the interaction with certain defects in silicon. The achievement has the ...

In Sept. 2012, NASA’s Van Allen Probes observed the radiation belts around Earth had settled into a new configuration, separating into three belts instead of two. Scientists think the unusual physics ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was observed for the first time. As the interactions between atoms are governed by the valence electrons ...

What are magnets? How does a magnet work? Fundamentally, magnets can be explained through quantum mechanics. This video will ...

Researchers have recently identified 'dark electrons'—electrons undetectable using traditional spectroscopy—within solid materials. By examining palladium diselenide, the team discovered states ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated that quantum light, particularly bright squeezed vacuum (BSV), can drive strong-field photoemission at metal needle tips.
