Excitons—bound pairs of electrons and an electron hole—are quasiparticles that can arise in solids. While so-called "bright" ...

An international research team led by Forschungszentrum Jülich has succeeded in visualizing magnetism inside solids with ...

I’ve always wondered — can we see an electron? I dug into the science behind this tiny particle, and it turns out the answer ...

An attosecond—or 0.000000000000000001 second—is no time at all for a person. That is not so for electrons, atoms and ...

A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may actually be beneficial in 2D semiconductors, according to new findings by UC Santa Barbara ...

It may be the smallest, shortest chorus dance ever recorded. An international team of researchers observed how electrons, excited by ultrafast light pulses, danced in unison around a particle less ...

This is a new source of energetic electrons that we didn’t know about that can occur everywhere.” Space, it turns out, is an even deadlier place than we imagined.

Most electrons in cosmic rays have energies of a few hundred gigaelectronvolts (GeV). But the newly detected record-breakers have been measured up to an astounding 40 teraelectronvolts (TeV).

For the first time, we demonstrated the sensitivity of diamond H3 color centers to a magnetic field. The diamond H3 color centers represent the neutral charge state of the ...

This is quite a feat: Electrons travel at roughly 1367 miles per second (2,200 kilometers per second), making them capable of circumnavigating the Earth in only 18.4 seconds.

The electrons located in the outermost shell of an atom are called the valence electrons. The properties of an atom and its interaction with other elements or atoms depend on these valence electrons.
