For the first time, scientists have measured the 'shape' of an electron in solids, opening the door to advances in quantum ...

A new analysis reveals what happens when very short or narrow electron beams encounter a particle. The research is published in the New Journal of Physics. Scientists should be able to achieve a new ...

Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

(Nanowerk News) Imagine standing by a lake and throwing a stone into the water. Waves spread out in circular patterns and can reflect at obstacles and boundaries. Researchers at the University of ...

(Nanowerk News) One of the most fundamental interactions in physics is that of electrons and light. In an experiment at Goethe University Frankfurt, scientists have now managed to observe what is ...

Scientists at the University of Konstanz in Germany have advanced ultrafast electron microscopy to unprecedented time resolution. Reporting in Science Advances, the research team presents a method for ...

In the world of quantum mechanics, particles can behave like waves. This wave-like nature is crucial for understanding quantum tunnelling. Imagine a tiny particle, like an electron, approaching a hill ...

It is found that the reconstruction of the electronic environment and the optimization of the electromagnetic attenuation mechanism are achieved by constructing a model of metal–support interaction ...

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

A study finds atmospheric waves alter electron content, helping scientists map the hidden magnetic fields on Mars.
