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

For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), in collaboration with ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When high-energy light hits atoms, it knocks electrons loose.

These wavelike electrons are fundamentally quantum in nature. This means that they can emit light in unique ways when shaped and modulated by lasers. In this work, the team found that the rate of ...

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

It’s the interactions between phonons and electrons that cause electrons to slow down, or their momentum to relax. It’s the reason why electrical resistance of conductors decreases at a lower ...

Approach-avoidance behaviour: A behavioural response characterised by movement towards (approach) or away (avoidance) from a stimulus, often influenced by its perceived emotional valence.

In this article, we investigate the impact of hard-switching on the dynamic ON-resistance (RON) in the AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). The pulsed measurements were taken on a set ...

Air-channel transistors can exhibit ballistic transport and immunity from carrier scattering if the channel distance is smaller than the mean free path (MFP) of electrons in an ambient environment.

This concept isn’t just futuristic—it carries real-world relevance. Companies might begin to hedge not only currency risk but also energy risk. Imagine supermarkets trading kilowatt-hours or data ...

New research sheds light on how electrons interact with the innate vibrations within DNA molecules, known as phonons, which could be harnessed for future technologies. | DNA, Electronics, Technology, ...

An understanding of the effects of electronic correlations in quantum systems is one of the most challenging problems in physics, partly due to the relevance in modern high technology. Yet there exist ...
