The key to maximizing traditional or quantum computing speeds lies in our ability to understand how electrons behave in solids, and researchers have now captured electron movement in attoseconds--the ...

Scientists observed charge separation in a solar cell dye, driven by nuclear vibrations, not solvent effects, reshaping views on light-induced transport. (Nanowerk News) Whether in solar cells or in ...

Have you heard of an x-ray laser before? Did you know that there is a huge x-ray laser in the heart of Silicon Valley in California that can help us discover a myriad of information about the Universe ...

The fluid-like movement of electrons in graphene was directly observed by physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for the first time at a nanometer resolution. The findings have the ...

ATHENS, Ohio -- Molecular electronics is the ultimate miniaturization of electronics. In this area of research, scientists have been studying the movement of electrons through individual molecules in ...

Electrons are able to move within molecules, for example when they are excited from outside or in the course of a chemical reaction. For the first time, scientists have now succeeded in studying the ...

Pairs of light waves can be used to observe and manipulate a single electron as it moves inside an atom — motion that happens on the timescale of one-millionth of one-billionth of a second. Physicists ...

A ‘hole’ arises due to a missing electron in the valence band, which normally participates in covalent bonding between atoms. The absence of an electron creates a local absence of a negative charge, ...

(Nanowerk News) The key to maximizing traditional or quantum computing speeds lies in our ability to understand how electrons behave in solids, and a collaboration between the University of Michigan ...
