It may be the smallest, shortest chorus dance ever recorded. An international team of researchers observed how electrons, excited by ultrafast light pulses, danced in unison around a particle less ...

Atomic clocks are more accurate than those used to define the second, suggesting the definition might need to change ...

A new method finally reveals the full quantum identity of electrons, offering insights that could transform material science ...

Understanding chorus waves is vital, as they create fast-moving, highly energetic electrons (known as killer electrons) that can penetrate spacecraft shielding and destroy important systems.

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Electrons in twisted graphene exhibit a novel 1/3 fractional quantum Hall state, characterized by unique electron movement due to strong interlayer interactions ...

A research group led by Prof. Yang Liangbao from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

This achievement could open a new way of looking at how electrons behave inside different materials. Their discovery highlights many effects that could be relevant to everything from quantum ...
