Researchers at The University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute have shown that electrons in ultra-clean graphene can be steered with high precision while keeping their spin information ...

One of the most fundamental interactions in physics is that of electrons and light. In an experiment, scientists have now managed to observe what is known as the Kapitza-Dirac effect for the first ...

Defects often limit the performance of devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The mechanisms by which defects annihilate charge carriers are well understood in materials that emit light at red ...

Electron spin can create differences between mirror-image molecules, a potential explanation for why life favors one ...

In materials science, if you can understand the "texture" of a material—how its internal patterns form and shift—you can begin to design how it behaves. That's the focus of the work of Zhenglu Li, ...

Findings indicate that tuning an electrode's density of states can optimize reorganization energy, improving charge-transfer ...

A single high-energy electron could degrade chips faster than expected, raising new concerns for performance and device ...

Accelerator-based high-energy electron diffraction determines 3D atomic structure of materials New method using ultrashort ...

A University of Michigan study suggests that shortening laser pulses to subcycle durations can increase quantum efficiency in photoemission by up to 10 orders of magnitude without raising power or ...
