For the first time, scientists have recorded electrons in the act of snapping chemical bonds, turning an abstract quantum ...

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have shown, for the first time with very high time and spatial resolution, that electrons in ...

MIT researchers have devised a new molecular technique that lets electrons probe inside atomic nuclei, replacing massive particle accelerators with a tabletop setup. By studying radium monofluoride, ...

Under the right circumstances, electrons can actually “freeze” into a bizarre solid form. Now, physicists at Berkeley Lab have created and taken the first ever direct images of this structure. At low ...

For the first time, researchers have pushed electrons to flow so fast they went supersonic, creating a shockwave. The currents of electricity flowing through our devices share a name with river ...

Open a jewelry box or pause in front of a stained-glass window, and you are seeing one of nature’s quieter tricks at work. The color, in these cases, is not painted on. It comes from the atoms ...

At CES 2026, Japanese startup 3DC is presenting a new three-dimensional graphene nanomaterial designed to improve ...

Mohammad Hafezi, a Joint Quantum Institute Fellow, and his colleagues investigated how changing the ratio of fermionic to ...
