Researchers have experimentally caused electrons to bend in bilayer graphene with the use of light. The way electrons flow in materials determine its electronic properties. For example, when a voltage ...

A study showing how electrons flow around sharp bends, such as those found in integrated circuits, has the potential to improve how these circuits, commonly used in electronic and optoelectronic ...

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

On the move: time sequence of the electron distribution of the molecule 1,3-cyclohexadiene after it is excited by a light pulse. (Courtesy: SLAC) Scientists in the US and UK are the first to observe ...

I first learned of this area of research as a graduate student in physical chemistry. My doctoral adviser’s group had a project dedicated to studying chemical reactions with attosecond pulses. Before ...

Scientists have observed a quantum fluid of electrons in graphene for the first time, showing near-perfect fluid behaviour and shedding light on a quantum physics puzzle. In a collaborative effort, ...

A team of researchers from Boston College has created a new metallic specimen where the motion of electrons flows in the same way water flows in a pipe—fundamentally changing from particle-like to ...

Electricity feels instant, but its movement is a dance of charged particles, magnetic fields, and invisible forces. When a ...

Researchers at MIT have observed “electron whirlpools” for the first time. The bizarre behavior arises when electricity flows as a fluid, which could make for more efficient electronics. Like water, ...
