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

Three scientists who experimentally probed the blurry realm of the electron have been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in physics. Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier were honored for ...

All the elements in the Periodic Table are made from different atoms, and the structure of these atoms results in a gamut of phenomena from radioactive decay to nuclear power. When you purchase ...

Scientists have developed tunable materials that let free electrons move and interact in new ways, opening paths to faster ...

In ordinary materials, electrons move too quickly for their negative electric charges to affect their interactions. But at low temperatures and densities, they can be made to crystallize into an ...
