Since electricity is the lifeblood of everything from computers to phones to microwaves, the electron turned out to be interesting to just about everybody.

He based his calculations on the hydrogen atom, and more specifically, on the time it takes for the spin of a hydrogen atom’s electron to change relative to its proton. It’s known as the ...

A model for dense degenerate plasmas that incorporates electron spin indicates that quantum effects can be seen even under conditions previously considered to be in the classical regime.

"This is the first time that spin waves have been observed with electron microscopy." The study opens new frontiers in magnon research, but also beyond—developments in "ultrafast" imaging ...
