The new study -- led by Feng Liu, a professor of materials science and engineering -- supports a controversial 2000 study by German physicist Franz Giessibl, who claimed he was able to use an atomic ...

TOKYO, Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Traditional electronics relies on manipulating electrons through their charge, but a groundbreaking initiative led by scientists at Keio University is propelling ...

Physicists have uncovered a new quantum phenomenon, proving for the first time that electrons can form vortex-like structures ...

Almost two decades ago, physicists detected a phenomenon known as the spin Hall effect 1, 2, in which an electric field separates the electrons in a material on the basis of their intrinsic angular ...

Researchers from Würzburg have experimentally demonstrated a quantum tornado for the first time by refining an established ...

A team of researchers from Würzburg has for the first time experimentally demonstrated a quantum tornado. Electrons form vortices in the momentum space of the quantum semi-metal tantalum arsenide.

Electron waves that carry orbital angular momentum (OAM) are characterized by a quantized and unbounded magnetic dipole moment parallel to their propagation direction. When interacting with magnetic ...

In Jules Verne's famous classic Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, the iconic submarine Nautilus disappears into the Moskenstraumen, a massive whirlpool off the coast of Norway. In space, stars ...

As a flat sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a lattice, graphene is pretty simple, and yet it keeps surprising scientists with new properties. For the latest in a long line of breakthroughs, a team ...

It seems there’s no end to surprises from everybody’s favorite wonder material, graphene. MIT physicists have now discovered yet another brand new electronic state hiding in this overachieving little ...
