Researchers have experimentally caused electrons to bend in bilayer graphene with the use of light. The way electrons flow in materials determine its electronic properties. For example, when a voltage ...

Scientists have harnessed an imaging technique to create a 3-D visualization of electrons moving at nearly light speed on and in a futuristic material that could replace silicon in electronic devices ...

Scientists have observed a quantum fluid of electrons in graphene for the first time, showing near-perfect fluid behaviour and shedding light on a quantum physics puzzle. In a collaborative effort, ...

On the move: time sequence of the electron distribution of the molecule 1,3-cyclohexadiene after it is excited by a light pulse. (Courtesy: SLAC) Scientists in the US and UK are the first to observe ...

I first learned of this area of research as a graduate student in physical chemistry. My doctoral adviser’s group had a project dedicated to studying chemical reactions with attosecond pulses. Before ...

The road in Paris named after French physicist Hippolyte Fizeau, as drawn by an artist in 1896. (Credit: F Séguin, Dessinateur. Musée Carnavalet, Histoire de Paris. D.10405) An 1851 experiment in ...

Living life in the fast lane can be tremendously exciting, giving us the 'time of our lives' but how long does it really last? Experiments have answered this question for a bunch of electrons ...

image: You turn on a switch and the light switches on because electricity 'flows'. The usual perception is that this is like opening a faucet and the water starts to flow. But this analogy is ...

Plants are susceptible to stress, and with the global impact of climate change and humanity's growing demand for food, it's crucial to understand what causes plant stress and stress tolerance. When ...
