In some quantum materials, which are materials governed by quantum mechanical effects, interactions between charged particles ...

No chemical reaction or energy transfer process can take place without electrons, as they are responsible for forming and breaking chemical bonds. Therefore, to control and manipulate chemical ...

An MIT research team has observed a previously unseen form of magnetism, one that sits outside the familiar categories of ferromagnets and antiferromagnets. The discovery, termed p-wave magnetism, ...

Physicists have studied a rare molecule to look at how magnetism is distributed within a radioactive nucleus for the first time. The rules of nature don’t, generally speaking, change. If you toss a ...

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

A tiny crystal device can now split electrons without magnets, pointing to simpler, low-power electronics and a new way to ...

European scientists discover a new state of quantum matter in CeRu4Sn6 that challenges physics and changes our view of the universe.

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 proposed iridium-based compound can effectively store “electrons” from hydrogen and hold them in solid state at room temperature for months. These stored electrons can then be released to catalyze ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...

Traditional EV cells use a liquid or gel electrolyte, which is highly-flammable. So why haven’t we made the switch to ...
