Under the right circumstances, electrons can actually “freeze” into a bizarre solid form. Now, physicists at Berkeley Lab ...

For the first time, researchers have observed how bromoform rearranges its atoms in less than a trillionth of a second after ...

According to a study published in Science Advances, researchers from Madrid explain why the angular profile of light emission depends on the step’s orientation: in cavities as small as those between ...

If you don’t already own a few Elsa Perettis, and maybe even a Schlumberger or two, we’re here to change all that.

Millikan had found the fundamental charge of the electron. "Gold foil experiment" revealing the structure of the atom Once thought to be indivisible ... and later trained doctors to use X-rays to ...

European scientists are using diamonds to build a new quantum computer that works without needing to be cooled to ultra-low temperatures.

Electrons typically travel at high speeds, zipping through matter unbound. In the 1930s, physicist Eugene Wigner predicted that electrons could be coaxed into stillness at low densities and cold ...

Researchers have taken direct images of the Wigner molecular crystal, a new quantum phase of an electron solid. The ...

To expand the potential use of diamond in semiconductor and quantum technologies, researchers are developing improved ...

Our knowledge of physics — gained through astrophysical experiments, or in laboratories via machines such as particle ...

Raftrey and his colleagues used an advanced technique called magnetic X-ray laminography – a process akin to medical CT scans ...
