Rocket Lab launched a spacecraft for one Japanese radar imaging company Oct. 14, just days after signing a contract for ...

The research team also found that these electron orbits can interact with the substrate on which the graphene is grown, creating energy gaps that affect how electron waves move through the multilayer ...

Hanging around: this image shows where an electron is most likely to be found in an exciton. Yellow indicates high probability and blue low probability. The hole is located at the centre of the ...

Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (Nasdaq: RKLB) (“Rocket Lab” or “the Company”), a global leader in launch services and space systems, ...

UPTON, NY--A team of scientists has found evidence for a new type of electron pairing that may broaden the search for new high-temperature superconductors. The findings, described in the journal ...

An international team, co-led by UC Santa Cruz physicist Jairo Velasco, Jr., has answered the question of where patterns emerge from chaos. The team described an experiment that validates a theory ...

(Nanowerk News) No one will ever be able to see a purely mathematical construct such as a perfect sphere. But now, scientists using supercomputer simulations and atomic resolution microscopes have ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. These days, everybody learns in grade school that an atom looks a bit ...

While defects in a diamond are mostly undesirable, certain defects are a quantum physicist's best friend, having the potential to store bits of information that could one day be used in a quantum ...

For the first time, an experiment has directly imaged electron orbits in a high-magnetic field, illuminating an unusual collective behavior in electrons and suggesting new ways of manipulating the ...

Researchers resolve the age-old mystery of why silicon cannot replace carbon in organic compounds. A new benchmark quantum chemical calculation of C2, Si2, and their hydrides for the first time ...

Electrons, the stuff of chemical bonds, zip around at an unimaginably fast time-scale—on the order of attoseconds (10 –18 seconds). The ability to generate and control attosecond pulses of laser light ...
