Understanding chorus waves is vital, as they create fast-moving, highly energetic electrons (known as killer electrons) that ...

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

How? Well, if we take quantum mechanics seriously and look at the electron as a wave, it becomes possible to cross the barrier. In 1926, a man by the name of [Erwin Schrödinger] published a paper ...

In the forbidden fried egg image, the yolk is whats known as a Bloch sphere, and represents the classical geometry version of ...

Some thought the rays were a wave traveling through a mysterious ... of everything from computers to phones to microwaves, the electron turned out to be interesting to just about everybody.

The resulting oscillations exert a force on the electrons in graphene. This generates a circular electron density wave that propagates through the graphene beneath the tip. The wave can reflect ...

Work reveals new ways to understand and manipulate electrons in materials. MIT physicists, in collaboration with colleagues, ...

The paper, "Revealing an Unexpectedly Low Electron Injection Threshold via Reinforced ... "Most of our research focuses on either small-scale effects, like wave-particle interactions, or large ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...
