What happens when electrons leave a solid material? This seemingly simple phenomenon has, until now, eluded accurate ...

Scientists have developed tunable materials that let free electrons move and interact in new ways, opening paths to faster ...

So how do you get an electron to float on top of helium? To find out, Ars spoke with Johannes Pollanen, the chief scientific officer of EeroQ, the company that accomplished the new work. He said that ...

Electrons in graphene just broke their own sound barrier. Scientists created a controllable electronic shockwave inside a ...

The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, in collaboration with the Australian National University, Canberra has demonstrated a novel way of steering a beam of relativistic electron pulses ...

One day, powerful particle accelerators might fit in your pocket. Two teams of physicists have built tiny structures that both accelerate electrons and keep them confined in a manageable beam, instead ...

For the first time, researchers have pushed electrons to flow so fast they went supersonic, creating a shockwave. The currents of electricity flowing through our devices share a name with river ...

Superradiance When multiple electrons emit light in a coordinated manner, the resulting emission is much stronger than the sum of individual emissions. (Courtesy ...
