RIKEN physicists have discovered for the first time why the magnitude of the electron flow depends on direction in a special ...

Warm dense matter is a state of matter that forms at extreme temperatures and pressures, like those found at the center of ...

Synchrotron radiation sources generate highly brilliant light pulses, ranging from infrared to hard X-rays, which can be used to gain deep insights into complex materials. An international team has ...

Optical dispersion occurs when the refractive index of a material changes with the wavelength of incoming light. This variation causes different colors to move at different speeds in transparent media ...

The Trump administration is planning to close a small, obscure laboratory whose work undergirds everything from microchip manufacturing to nuclear fusion. The Atomic Spectroscopy Group at the National ...

A new method using spiraling electron beams allows scientists to directly observe electrons in motion, unlocking new insights into quantum processes and molecular behavior. Credit: SciTechDaily.com ...

Electrons are incredibly fast. Because of their ultrafast motions, directly observing their behavior has been challenging. Now researchers have suggested a new method to make visualizing electron ...

Electrons oscillate around the nucleus of an atom on extremely short timescales, typically completing a cycle in just a few hundred attoseconds (one attosecond is a quintillionth of a second). Because ...

This study presents a laser-engineered ruthenium–carbon core–shell catalyst that dramatically lowers the energy barrier for hydrogen production. The ...
