Electrons can be "kicked across" solar materials at almost the fastest speed nature allows, scientists have discovered, ...

Using this technique, the team was able to generate electron pulses lasting just a single attosecond, allowing them to observe ultrafast electron motion that normally can’t be seen. The researchers ...

In condensed matter physics, electron–electron interactions often give rise to exotic quantum states that defy conventional band theory. Among them, Mott insulators are especially intriguing: although ...

This schematic illustrates how regulating electron spin states through six key strategies—including defect engineering, valence modulation, and magnetic field application—can optimize catalytic ...

The 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to three researchers for their contributions to attosecond science. The prize honors Pierre Agostini of the Ohio State University, Ferenc Krausz of the ...

On New York's Long Island, scientists are building an ambitious machine to tease apart the mysteries held inside atomic nuclei. A major component of that system is the world's highest voltage electron ...

Energy efficiency in physics is not measured the way most people think about it. Instead of asking how much heat a process produces per unit of fuel, physicists often compare how much of a substance’s ...

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same ...
