Electrons oscillate around the nucleus of an atom on extremely short timescales, typically completing a cycle in just a few ...

Electrons are incredibly fast. Because of their ultrafast motions, directly observing their behavior has been challenging. Now researchers have suggested a new method to make visualizing electron ...

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 ...

Rubidium could be the next key player in oxide-ion conductors. Researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo have discovered ...

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

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

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.

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 ...

Confirming previous observations, we identify electron shifts on the outermost shells for a majority of the elements: valence s electrons are highly unfavored under strong confinement, and the ...
