Quantum sensors have become important tools in low-energy particle physics. Michael Doser explores opportunities to exploit ...

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

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

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When ...

An attosecond—or 0.000000000000000001 second—is no time at all for a person. That is not so for electrons, atoms and molecules, and laser-wielding scientists are revealing the action ...

Electrons play many roles in solid materials. When they are weakly bound and able to travel—i.e., mobile—they can enable ...

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong studying the structure of 2D materials have predicted new types of phase transitions that have yet to be seen in experiments ...

We have discovered legions of strange particles that seem to only have a ghostly existence inside materials. Even so, they ...

Jun 23, 2025 Coupled electrons and phonons predicted to flow like water in 2D semiconductors A condition long considered to be unfavorable to electrical conduction in semiconductor materials may ...
