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

The ability to precisely study and manipulate electrons in electron microscopes could open new possibilities for the development of both ultrafast imaging techniques and quantum technologies.

At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow simple rules, but when they interact together, entirely new behaviors can emerge ...

"Quantum chemistry is not only challenging, it is also beautiful." What did the calculations for the novel Diels-Alder reaction show? "We were able to identify an intermediate product that is formed ...

Quantum chemistry is helping scientists understand why some chemical reactions succeed while others fail, by showing how the movement of electrons affects each step ...

Researchers have made a meaningful advance in the simulation of molecular electron transfer -- a fundamental process underpinning countless physical, chemical and biological processes. The study ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Cornell University researchers have demonstrated that acoustic sound waves can be used to control the motion of an electron as it orbits a lattice defect in a diamond, a technique that can potentially ...

Tuning electron interactions in iron telluride selenide controls superconducting and topological phases, offering a pathway to more stable quantum computing. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at West ...
