Our planet’s surface evolves continuously by a complex interplay of climate, biological processes, and tectonic activity. Rapid population growth and climate change are modifying our landscapes, ...

The electrons that power our society flow left and right through the circuitry in our electronics, back and forth along the ...

Researchers in Australia have successfully created ‘quantum entangled states’ between two distant atoms in silicon. Engineers from the University of New South Wales were able to create the entangled ...

(a) Ordinary electrons without wave shaping have a uniform wave pattern when they travel. In simulations, the electrons collide with the atoms in graphene (red spheres represent graphene atoms and ...

Using light to measure ever-smaller objects has been central to progress in many scientific disciplines for centuries. As far back as 1873, German physicist Ernst Abbe proved that light diffraction ...

(Nanowerk News) Particle accelerators are crucial tools in a wide variety of areas in industry, research and the medical sector. The space these machines require ranges from a few square meters to ...

One day, powerful particle accelerators might fit in your pocket. Two teams of physicists have built tiny structures that both accelerate electrons and keep them confined in a manageable beam, instead ...

The new work is an effort to make sense of a discovery that was reported earlier this year by a different group of physicists at MIT, led by Assistant Professor Long Ju (Nature, "Fractional quantum ...
