In a strange metal (translucent box), electrons (blue marbles) lose their individuality and melt into a featureless, liquid-like stream. We all learned that electricity is caused by electrons moving ...

A light pulse redirects electrons in an ultrathin layered material, creating a stable new state without heat or damage and ...

A team of Florida State University-based physicists, including National High Magnetic Field Laboratory Dirac Postdoctoral ...

I first learned of this area of research as a graduate student in physical chemistry. My doctoral adviser’s group had a project dedicated to studying chemical reactions with attosecond pulses. Before ...

Physicists have discovered how to make electrons “freeze” and “melt” into bizarre quantum patterns, forming a new kind of matter where solid and liquid coexist. Electricity drives nearly every aspect ...

Ballistic electrons are among the most fascinating phenomena in modern quantum materials. Unlike ordinary electrons, they do ...

The question of what protons or neutrons are made up of has an apparently simple answer: quarks and gluons. However, when it ...

Physicists finally identified why some quantum materials seemingly lose their electrical conductivity for no reason.

Strange metals defy the 60-year-old understanding of electric current as a flow of discrete charges. (Nanowerk News) We all learned that electricity is caused by electrons moving in a metal. Each ...
