The research team also found that these electron orbits can interact with the substrate on which the graphene is grown, creating energy gaps that affect how electron waves move through the multilayer ...

Hanging around: this image shows where an electron is most likely to be found in an exciton. Yellow indicates high probability and blue low probability. The hole is located at the centre of the ...

UPTON, NY--A team of scientists has found evidence for a new type of electron pairing that may broaden the search for new high-temperature superconductors. The findings, described in the journal ...

An international team, co-led by UC Santa Cruz physicist Jairo Velasco, Jr., has answered the question of where patterns emerge from chaos. The team described an experiment that validates a theory ...

Chinese researchers used the Oceanlite supercomputer and a custom NNQS model to simulate molecular systems with 120 spin ...

(Nanowerk News) No one will ever be able to see a purely mathematical construct such as a perfect sphere. But now, scientists using supercomputer simulations and atomic resolution microscopes have ...

Two guys — Stern and Gerlach — did an experiment in 1922. They wanted to measure magnetism caused by electron orbits. At the time, they didn’t know about particles having angular momentum due to spin.

While defects in a diamond are mostly undesirable, certain defects are a quantum physicist's best friend, having the potential to store bits of information that could one day be used in a quantum ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. These days, everybody learns in grade school that an atom looks a bit ...

A technological revolution that is still playing out today began with new ideas about how atoms and subatomic particles work. Commentator Marcelo... One hundred years ago Niels Bohr introduced the ...

Evidence has been found for a new type of electron pairing that may broaden the search for new high-temperature superconductors. The findings provide the basis for a unifying description of how ...
