Research on trace anomaly in nucleons and pions uncovers mass distribution patterns, crucial for understanding quark binding ...

By creating a new way for light and matter to interact, researchers have enabled the manufacturing of ultrathin silicon solar ...

2 At an atomic level, metals have a high density of loosely bound valence electrons that can move freely throughout the material, enabling efficient current flow with minimal resistance under applied ...

Scientists from MIT have modeled an elusive superconductor using a much larger stand-in. By shaping atoms with lasers and ...

These materials are primarily understood as insulators, but their nature causes all the isolated islands of conduction—the ...

For the first time, researchers have accelerated muons — the heavier, unstable cousins of electrons — into a tightly controlled beam, bringing the vision of a muon collider a step closer to ...

N-type semiconductors use dopant atoms from elements in group V, with five or more electrons in their valence shell. Readily available phosphorus is a common choice. The "spare" electron from each ...

In high school science class, we learned that plugging a cable into an electrical circuit sets off a flow of electrons, powering everything from our lights to our phones. Traditionally ...

Lightning strikes across Earth could make ultrahot "killer electrons" rain down around our planet, according to new research from scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder. Due to this ...
