Superconductivity occurs when electrons in a metal pair up and move through the material without resistance. But there may be more to the story than we thought, as scientists in Germany have now ...

(1632-1723) and Englishman Robert Hooke (1635-1703). Both played instrumental roles in the identification of microorganisms using glass lenses and essentially launched the fields of optical microscopy ...

Electron microscopes are extremely versatile instruments, which can offer various types of information according to the user’s requirements. In this article, the different types of electrons that are ...

In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, molecule, or other physical structure (e.g., a crystal). Like other elementary particles ...

For the first time, physicists from the University of Basel have succeeded in coupling different types of electron-hole pairs (excitons) in the van der Waals material molybdenum disulfide. This ...

Tungsten atoms are seen to come together in a way that is similar to an outer space ion. The finding suggests many more types of electron sharing between atoms could exist in nature. A team of ...

Electron holography is based on the fundamental principles of holography, which involves the recording and reconstruction of wavefronts. In holography, a hologram is created by capturing the ...
