For the first time, scientists have "photographed" a rare plasma instability, where high-energy electron beams form into ...

Key components in a traditional lithium-ion battery include an anode, electrolyte, separator and cathode. They all work together to shuttle electrons between an EV’s charge and discharge cycles. The ...

Scientists have long sought to unravel the mysteries of strange metals—materials that defy conventional rules of electricity ...

Scientists have for the first time filmed the real-time growth and contraction of Palladium nanoparticles, opening new avenues for utilising and recycling precious metal catalysts.

Scientists have revealed a strange twister-like phenomenon in the quantum semimetal tantalum arsenide. The findings suggest that electrons move in swirling patterns that could reshape ideas in quantum ...

J. Thomson’s discovery that atoms were not indivisible, but contained smaller, negatively charged entities called electrons — the first subatomic particles to be identified. Then, in 1911 ...

Two twisted boron nitride layers (blue and pink) create a crystal lattice at a distance in which electrons (gold) can arrange themselves in a regular pattern. Credit: Natasha Kiper / ETH Zurich ...

To study the interactions between electrons in a material, physicists have come up with a number of tricks over the years. These interactions are interesting, among other things, because they lead ...

The isotope lead-208 was predicted to be extremely stable and perfectly spherical because of the “magic” numbers of electrons and ... fully occupy the nuclear valence shells (outermost orbits ...
