Achieving practical interstellar travel requires overcoming the immense challenge of reaching extraordinary velocities. To send a spacecraft, weighing roughly 1,000 kilograms, to a neighboring star ...

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

The electron wavefunction at the plane where the ... high-resolution' images has become a common technique in materials science 18. Some of this work was capable of atomic-scale resolution.

Physicists measured how readily a current of electron pairs flows through 'magic-angle' graphene, a major step toward understanding how this unusual material superconducts. By determining how readily ...

Attosecond science, honored with the 2023 Nobel Prize ... Using the powerful X-ray Free Electron Laser (FEL) at SLAC National Laboratory in California, the Hamburg team studied how ultrashort ...

Remarkably, the amount of current that flows along the edge is precisely determined by the ratio of two fundamental constants of nature—Planck's constant and the charge of the electron. The precision ...

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.

The mission will be Rocket Lab’s fourth in a series of five dedicated Electron launches for the French Internet-of-Things constellation operator LONG BEACH, Calif., January 21, 2025--(BUSINESS ...
