In graphene, electrons move in strange ways. Their unusual and fluid-like behavior was observed by scientists at the National Graphene Institute, leading to a new wave of studies related to the ...

Spintronics, an emerging field of technology, exploits the spin of electrons rather than their charge to process and store information. Spintronics could lead to faster, more power-efficient computers ...

An atom is electrically neutral which means that there are identical numbers of protons and electrons. Positive charge of protons is composed of negative charge of electrons. It has no electrical ...

Abstract Light-driven quantum tunneling offers an attractive platform for coherent electron control at ultrafast time scales; however, sustainable ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have shown, for the first time with very high time and spatial resolution, that electrons in ...

No new particles: artist’s impression of how virtual particles could give the electron an electric dipole moment. (Courtesy: Nicolle Fuller/NSF) It is well known that the electron has a magnetic ...
