Future quantum computers could be based on electrons floating above liquid helium, according to study by a RIKEN physicist and collaborators, appearing in Physical Review Applied. Today's computers ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. No chemical reaction or energy transfer process can take place without electrons, as they are responsible for forming and breaking ...

An international team has discovered how electrons can slither rapidly to-and-fro across a quantum surface when driven by external forces. The research has enabled the visualization of the motion of ...

Our planet’s surface evolves continuously by a complex interplay of climate, biological processes, and tectonic activity. Rapid population growth and climate change are modifying our landscapes, ...

The new work is an effort to make sense of a discovery that was reported earlier this year by a different group of physicists at MIT, led by Assistant Professor Long Ju (Nature, "Fractional quantum ...

The proposed iridium-based compound can effectively store “electrons” from hydrogen and hold them in solid state at room temperature for months. These stored electrons can then be released to catalyze ...

Physicists have studied a rare molecule to look at how magnetism is distributed within a radioactive nucleus for the first time. The rules of nature don’t, generally speaking, change. If you toss a ...

A team of researchers affiliated with multiple institutions in the U.S. and China and one in Australia has developed a way to use electrons to accelerate molecular recognition. In their paper ...

Researchers have experimentally caused electrons to bend in bilayer graphene with the use of light. The way electrons flow in materials determine its electronic properties. For example, when a voltage ...

The method points to easier on-chip control for next-generation submicron devices. (Nanowerk News) Rice University researchers used a focused electron beam to pattern device functions with submicron ...
