Through this study, we were able to find clues about how electrons behave when they pass through the atomic wall,” stated ...

The first black hole images stunned the world in 2019, with headlines announcing evidence of a glowing doughnut-shaped object ...

At the edge of two exotic materials, scientists have discovered a new state of matter called a "quantum liquid crystal" that ...

The ultrafast placement of an electron in a polar liquid generates collective molecular vibrations in a spherical nano-volume ...

Atomic-scale detail is now possible with photons, thanks to a cooled-down silver tip and a clever use of plasmonics.

A Penn State-led research team has unraveled the long-standing mystery of how lightning begins inside thunderclouds. Their findings offer the first quantitative, physics-based explanation for ...

Solar panels are landfilled, recycled, or repurposed. Landfill is the most common, but is bad for the environment. Recycling ...

Electrons dynamics control by shaping femtosecond laser pulses in micro/nanofabrication: modeling, method, measurement and application Lan Jiang, An-Dong Wang, Bo Li, Tian-Hong Cui & Yong-Feng Lu ...

We present a theoretical and experimental study of a plasmonic nanoelectrode architecture that is able to inject bunches of hot electrons into an aqueous environment. In this approach, electrons ...

Students will see that both ionic and covalent bonding start with the attractions of protons and electrons between different atoms. But in ionic bonding, electrons are transferred from one atom to the ...

We have to climb a mountain in order to conquer it. In quantum physics there is a different way: objects can reach the opposite side of a hill simply by tunnelling through it, instead of laboriously ...

ELECTRONS ATTRACT Although electrons normally repel one another, a new study shows that two electrons (green in this illustration) can attract, thanks to their repulsion from other electrons (purple).
