At the smallest scales of matter, nature behaves in ways that feel almost counterintuitive. Individual particles follow ...

Moiré atoms and Wigner molecule (a) Schematic of moiré superlattice and (b) corresponding moiré potential at ϕ = 10°. Its minima, moiré atoms, form a triangular lattice. (c) Evolution of each of the ...

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, ...

The Signal Path] shows us how to recreate a classic science experiment to measure the weight of an electron. Things are ...

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 ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

LMU researchers have directly measured a physical phenomenon that was theoretically described all the way back in 1933 – the polaron.

Using this technique, the team was able to generate electron pulses lasting just a single attosecond, allowing them to observe ultrafast electron motion that normally can’t be seen. The researchers ...

Techniques resulting from the work of Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier let scientists capture the motions of subatomic particles moving at impossible speeds. By Emma Bubola and ...

On New York's Long Island, scientists are building an ambitious machine to tease apart the mysteries held inside atomic nuclei. A major component of that system is the world's highest voltage electron ...
