Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...

Measurements are reported in which the charge stored in the oxide of an MOS device exposed to ionizing radiation is studied as a function of oxide pretreatment. Implantation with Al+ ions is found to ...

A promising path to fighting COVID and other coronaviruses may have been based on a serious mistake. Scientists had zeroed in ...

Shabbir Ahmed, assistant professor in South Dakota State University's Department of Mechanical Engineering, is conducting ...

Detail from Small's reprocessed cryo-EM data zooming in on an unoccupied area of the SARS-CoV-2 NiRAN domain. (Courtesy of ...

Angular momentum is a fundamental quantity in physics that describes the rotational motion of objects. In quantum physics, it ...

As few as five electrons in a semiconductor can exhibit collective behaviour, forming a “Coulomb liquid”, according to researchers in Europe. This extends the study of correlated systems to electron ...

Discrete particle effects are inherently important in the process of electron emission and propagation near the emitter surface [1]. This is especially important for nanoscale emitters such as ...

The tandem device is based on a bottom organic cell that can achieve a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 17.9% and a ...

But axions were pushed aside as the WIMPs hypothesis gained more steam. Back-of-the-envelope calculations showed that the ...

Research indicates that electron-phonon interactions in atomically thin semiconductors enhance conductivity, paving the way ...

A Japanese research team has successfully achieved direct observation of nano-meter scale charge distribution at the ...
