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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Physicists have created the world’s fastest microscope, and it’s so quick that it can spot electrons in motion. The new device, a ...

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, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Imagine using just a flicker of sunlight to break stubborn chemical bonds that once required intense energy or toxic chemicals to ...

An international team has discovered how electrons can slither rapidly to-and-fro across a quantum surface when driven by external forces. The research has enabled the visualization of the motion of ...

A titanium-based metal-organic framework achieves record electron storage density among MOFs and releases these accumulated charges to produce hydrogen gas without any additional light. (Nanowerk ...

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 ...

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...
