For the first time, scientists have measured the 'shape' of an electron in solids, opening the door to advances in quantum ...

In materials science, if you can understand the "texture" of a material—how its internal patterns form and shift—you can ...

For the first time, researchers have pushed electrons to flow so fast they went supersonic, creating a shockwave. The currents of electricity flowing through our devices share a name with river ...

What is Atom Probe Tomography? Atom Probe Tomography (APT) is a powerful analytical technique that provides three-dimensional (3D) imaging and chemical composition analysis of materials at the atomic ...

A new analysis reveals what happens when very short or narrow electron beams encounter a particle. The research is published in the New Journal of Physics. Scientists should be able to achieve a new ...

Calculations of the molecule’s magnetic properties show that electrons circulate continuously around the bismuth ring—a key ...

NMAH copy purchased with funds from the S. Dillon Ripley Endowment. This comprehensive scientific history presents for the first time a detailed and comprehensive study of the Bohr atom in all its ...

In a world first, the team, led by Professor Stephen Liddle, discovered a new type of aromatic molecule made entirely of ...

If you were asked to picture how electrons move, you could be forgiven for imagining a stream of particles sluicing down a wire like water rushing through a pipe. After all, we often describe ...
