Nitrogen gas (N2) is one of the most abundant yet highly stable gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Its N≡N triple bond has an ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new technique to better understand how electrons interact within materials. By ...

To study the interactions between electrons in a material, physicists have come up with a number of tricks over the years.

So far as we know, the idea of a quantised spinning of the electron was put forward for the first time by A. K. Compton (Journ. Frankl. Inst., Aug. 1921, p. 145), who pointed out the possible ...

Scientists found a new quantum state in twisted graphene, where electrons lock in place but still conduct current along edges. This topological breakthrough may lead to advances in quantum computing.
