Scientists have developed a simulation that can predict how tens of thousands of electrons move in materials in real time, or natural time rather than compute time. Developed by a team from the ...

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

Researchers have discovered a hidden quantum geometry inside materials that subtly steers electrons, echoing how gravity ...

Physicists have directly mapped a hidden kind of geometry inside quantum materials that steers electrons in ways strikingly ...

Professor James Rondinelli collaborated with IBM to help turn simulations into potential practical chip designs.

Physicists uncover hidden magnetic order in the pseudogap, showing how electron behavior stays organized before superconductivity begins ...

Three scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for their work on how electrons move around the atom during the tiniest fractions of seconds, a field that could one day lead to better ...

For the first time, scientists have used ultrafast X-ray flashes to take a direct image of a single electron as it moved during a chemical reaction. In the new study, published Aug. 20 in the journal ...
