No chemical reaction or energy transfer process can take place without electrons, as they are responsible for forming and breaking chemical bonds. Therefore, to control and manipulate chemical ...

Scientists have found a way to control electrons in molecules using tailor-made terahertz light pulses, offering new possibilities for advanced technologies. Scientists at YOKOHAMA National University ...

Scientists at Yokohama National University, in collaboration with RIKEN and other institutions in Japan and Korea, have made ...

Kristian Camilleri is an associate professor of history and philosophy of science at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and author of Heisenberg and the Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. In ...

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, ...

For the first time, researchers show light pulses can create electrons at specific sites in graphene, uncovered through simulations of laser effects. (Nanowerk News) A research team in Kiel has ...

A research team in Kiel has demonstrated a previously unknown effect in graphene—a single layer of carbon atoms whose discovery earned the 2010 Nobel Prize. For years, graphene has been seen as a ...

The interactions in photovoltaic materials that convert light into electricity happens in femtoseconds. How fast is that? One femtosecond is a quadrillionth of a second­­. To put that in perspective, ...
