A novel magnetic material with an extraordinary electronic structure might allow for the production of smaller and more efficient computer chips in the future: the p-wave magnet. Researchers from ...

Superconductive materials can conduct electricity with no resistance, but typically only at very low temperatures. Realizing ...

Lewis structures, also called electron-dot structures or electron-dot diagrams, are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule, and the lone pairs of electrons that may exist in the ...

A layered form of graphene shows a rare semimetal state with balanced electrons and holes that becomes a topological insulator when exposed to moderate magnetic fields.

A study conducted at the University of São Paulo's Physics Institute (IF-USP), Brazil, has resolved a longstanding controversy dogging the international community of researchers dedicated to ...

Physicists have painted an in-depth portrait of charge ordering -- an electron self-organization regime in high-temperature superconductors that may be intrinsically intertwined with superconductivity ...

Scientists have used computing power and clever modeling to solve a 200-year-old chemistry and math puzzle. For all these years, the question at play has been how to plot the electron structure of a ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

Using cutting-edge electron microscopy, researchers from Aarhus University have determined the first structures of a lipid-flippase. The discoveries provide a better understanding of the basics of how ...
