If you picture an electron breaking free from a solid, the process seems simple. Give it enough energy, and it should blast off into space. But a team of researchers from TU Wien and their colleagues ...

Many natural processes, ranging from magnetism to chemical reactions, entail the movement and rotation of particles at very ...

In a process analogous to how solids melt into liquids, the electrons in many different metals form crystal-like patterns that can deform and melt, opening new pathways for neuromorphic computing and ...

Cornell University researchers have demonstrated that acoustic sound waves can be used to control the motion of an electron as it orbits a lattice defect in a diamond, a technique that can potentially ...

In recent years, advancements in semiconductor manufacturing technology have enabled the formation of high-quality, high-mobility two-dimensional electron gases in zinc oxide (ZnO) heterostructures, ...

To realize practical quantum computers, a large number of quantum bits (qubits) will be required. Semiconductor spin qubits offer advantages such as high scalability and compatibility with existing ...
