The revelation that electrons in the single-atom-thick material known as graphene can act much like a frictionless fluid is a significant departure from our conventional understanding of physics. This ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have gained new insight into the electronic processes that guide the transformation of liquids into a solid crystalline or glassy state. The ability of some liquids to ...

A significant solar storm in May 2024 led to the creation of two temporary radiation belts, detected by the CIRBE satellite in June. One belt contained high-energy electrons, while the other was rich ...

We just got a bold new look at what happens when light interacts with electrons. When converting light into electricity, like in solar cells, much of the energy isn’t converted into electricity. When ...

A Princeton University-led team of scientists has shown how electrons moving in certain solids can behave as though they are a thousand times more massive than free electrons, yet at the same time act ...

The end of Moore's Law -- the prediction that transistor density would double every two years -- was one of the hottest topics in electronics-related discussions in 2015. Silicon-based technologies ...
