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

A research team discovered a quantum state in which electrons move in a completely new way under a twisted graphene structure. The unique electronic state is expected to contribute to the development ...

Electrons have a hidden feature — spin — that could revolutionize technology. Magnets can control it, but researchers are now ...

For decades, scientists have been trying to answer a crucial question in space physics: What processes allow electrons to be accelerated to relativistic speeds? The main mechanism to explain ...

The role of electrons and their negative charge in electric current is well established. Electrons also exhibit other ...

Phenomena like destructive interference help explain the invisibility of 'dark electrons.' Similar to light waves, electron waves can interfere with each other. When perfectly opposite ...

STEM operates by focusing a beam of electrons into a narrow probe that is scanned across a thin specimen. As the electrons interact with the sample, they are either scattered or transmitted. The ...
