COMPTON, while professor of physics in Princeton University, performed and inspired a great deal of work on the phenomena of the electric discharge in gases, on the emission of electrons from ...
Until now scientists believed that dark electrons, electrons associated with the quantum state of matter, simply don’t exist in solid materials. However, a new study from researchers at South ...
Metals are well-known for their plasmonic properties—collective oscillations of free electrons that produce unique optical responses, with applications ranging from photonics to catalysis.
Three exotic new species of superconductivity were spotted last year, illustrating the myriad ways electrons can join together to form a frictionless quantum soup.
Researchers have developed a sustainable catalyst that increases its activity during use while converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable products. This discovery offers a blueprint for designing ...
