New research shows how the organization of electrons can reshape how a material responds to light, opening previously ...

When laser flashes hit matter, electrons are knocked off their orbits around the atomic nuclei. This can generate extremely ...

Experiments in which systems of interacting electrons are split apart reveal the signatures of a liquid-like state — even for as few as three electrons. Read the paper: Evidence of Coulomb liquid ...

The mystery of quantum phenomena inside materials—such as superconductivity, where electric current flows without energy loss—lies in when electrons move together and when they break apart. KAIST ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All the magnets you have ever interacted with, such as the tchotchkes stuck to your refrigerator door, are magnetic for the same reason.

When lightning strikes, the electrons come pouring down. In a new study, researchers at CU Boulder led by an undergraduate student have discovered a new link between weather on Earth and weather in ...

Scientists have confirmed for the first time how the northern lights form in the sky. Electromagnetic waves transfer energy to electrons, which then hitch a ride toward Earth. The electrons eventually ...

In superconducting materials, pairs of electrons form a shared quantum-mechanical state. Control of this macroscopic quantum state is a key feature that is required for superconducting quantum ...

Scientists at OIST have defied a foundational rule in chemistry by creating a stable 20-electron version of ferrocene—an organometallic molecule once thought to be limited to 18 valence electrons.

It may be the smallest, shortest chorus dance ever recorded. An international team of researchers observed how electrons, excited by ultrafast light pulses, danced in unison around a particle less ...
