A Lancaster physicist has proposed a radical solution to the question of how a charged particle, such as an electron, responded to its own electromagnetic…
Early-career nuclear physicists show that a better understanding of how neutrinos interact with matter is needed to make the most of upcoming experiments. Neutrinos may…
Breakthrough demonstrates solid state of electrons predicted more than 90 years ago. More than 90 years ago, physicist Eugene Wigner predicted that at low densities…
The findings confirm theoretical predictions that certain metallic specimens could support an electron-phonon liquid phase. A team of researchers from Boston College has created a…
Chemists investigate the interactions of metal complexes and light. When a molecule is hit by light, in many cases a so-called “photoinduced” reaction is initiated….
MIT researchers are working to develop an electron-cloaking material that would “hide” particles from passing electrons, possibly leading to more efficient thermoelectric devices and new…
A new paper from David Mazziotti, a professor in chemistry at the University of Chicago, solves what specialists call the “N-representability problem,” how to compute…
A new technique developed by an international research team uses X-ray laser pulses from SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source to zap the innermost electrons out…
While using a technique to simultaneously blast and probe samples of graphite, scientists at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory saw ultrafast changes from solid to liquid…
Using SLAC’s Linac Coherent Light Source, a team of physicists discovered never-before-seen behavior by electrons in a material called striped nickelate, representing a new era…
A newly published paper details the findings made by physicists while measuring the coherence and spin of excitons in a refrigerated system. The team discovered…
As efforts continue to improve nanotechnology and molecular electronic devices, a team of researchers has provided the first experimental determination of the pathways by which…
In search of better thermoelectric materials, a team of physicists turned to a material NASA engineers first used roughly 40 years ago for spacecraft design,…
A team of physicists are the first to successfully realize a quantum walk in two dimensions and believe by simulating these quantum walks, physicists could…
Over the last six years, researchers at the Berkeley Lab have made great progress on APEX, an electron gun that operates at radio frequency in…
The first ever electrons with tunable properties were observed at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. By repositioning the carbon monoxide molecules that were placed on…
It has been extremely difficult to create graphene-based devices that reliably operate at room temperature and pressure, until now. By submerging sheets of graphene in…
A newly proposed nuclear clock would be nearly 100 times more accurate than the best atomic clocks we have now, would be accurate to 19…
