Last week I explained how to use a motion sensor to trigger an event with an Arduino. The event we triggered was a simple blinking of an LED. You can do a lot with a bunch of LEDs if you use your ...

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” ...

In graphene, electrons move in strange ways. Their unusual and fluid-like behavior was observed by scientists at the National Graphene Institute, leading to a new wave of studies related to the ...

Scientists have developed a simulation that can predict how tens of thousands of electrons move in materials in real time, or natural time rather than compute time.

The different ways that electrons can move through a nanowire can be described by how easily electrons travel, or are transmitted, through the structure, explains Williams. Most atomic structures ...

Electron billiards in nanoscale circuits Date: October 24, 2010 Source: Technische Universitaet Muenchen Summary: In solar cells, solar radiation boosts electrons to higher energy states, thereby ...

For the first time, scientists visualized how electrons behave during a chemical reaction, which could help reduce unwanted ...

Subatomic particles can exist in more than two discrete states, so quantum computers harness electrons to crunch complex data and perform functions at whiplash speed.

Three scientists won the 2023 Nobel Prize in physics for their work developing methods to shoot laser pulses that only last an attosecond, or a mind-bogglingly tiny fraction of a second.

Can scientists image the motion of electrons inside atoms? It's a challenging problem, but solving it would help us develop a more complete understanding of things like chemical reactions and the ...
