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, ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully mapped the shape of an electron while it moves through a solid. This groundbreaking discovery in quantum physics, led by MIT physicist Riccardo Comin ...

In quantum mechanics, particles such as electrons act like waves and can even interfere with themselves—a striking and counterintuitive feature that defies our classical view of reality. We know this ...

In a groundbreaking studypublished in Physical Review Letters, researchers led by Professor Dong Eon Kim of POSTECH’s Department of Physics have solved a century-old mystery surrounding quantum ...
