Scientists at Cambridge University have shown an amazing degree of control over the most fundamental aspect of an electronic circuit, how electrons move from one place to another.

When two different substances are brought together, the electrons can move randomly. When the substances are separated, static electricity occurs if the balance of electrons is disturbed.

However, electrons move around very rapidly in physical and chemical processes, making them difficult to study.

By directly observing thousands of electrons in real-time, scientists gain powerful insights into how materials respond at the quantum level.

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 ...

Researchers at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have taken the first direct, and most precise, measurement of electron motion in sync with vibrating atoms in an exotic material. 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.
