When light hits a material, the state of the electrons changes. So, what remains after the light has passed through?Counting ...

Explore the fundamental components of an atom: protons, neutrons, and electrons. This video discusses why the traditional model of the atom is inaccurate, highlighting the unpredictable nature of ...

Transition metals and non-ferrous metals such as copper, nickel and cobalt are not only suitable as materials in engineering and technology, but also for a wide range of applications in ...

A new study found that orbital ordering in a vanadate compound exhibits a clear nucleation-growth behavior. Their observation is the first of its kind, where electrons in an inorganic solid created ...

The Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) and a team of U.S. researchers have theoretically demonstrated that a helical nanowire, twisted like a screw, can function as a ‘quantum ...

The new study -- led by Feng Liu, a professor of materials science and engineering -- supports a controversial 2000 study by German physicist Franz Giessibl, who claimed he was able to use an atomic ...

An electron microscope can now distinguish, at the scale of columns of atoms, how certain electrons are distributed around them. To understand this result, we need to forget the image of electrons ...

Atomic vibrations can transfer orbital angular momentum to electrons in a non-magnetic material. (Nanowerk News) To keep up with today’s computing needs, researchers mine the quantum realm to find ...

Electrons confined above the surface of liquid helium form an exceptionally clean two-dimensional electron system, free from the disorder that characterises semiconductor interfaces. Repelled by their ...
