What makes something quantum? This question has kept a small but dedicated fraction of the world’s population – most of them quantum physicists – up at night for decades. At very small scales, we know ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully mapped the shape of an electron while it moves through a solid. This ...

Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control light ...

The short answer is; no. We will never see atoms using visible light, simply because the wavelength of visible light (around 400 to 700 nanometers) is larger than the size of an atom (around 0.1 to ...

For the first time, researchers have been able to measure the quantum state of electrons ejected from atoms that have absorbed high-energy light ...

Scientists have found a way to achieve negative refraction—where light bends the "wrong" way—using carefully arranged atomic ...

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays - without the need for artificially ...

Using data from the Magnetospheric Multiscalar satellites, Liu and colleagues measured the distribution of electrons in the chorus wave, and they saw something that physicists' models have ...

Here, we demonstrate the visualization of standing light waves in a continuous-beam transmission electron ... z = −7.5 mm), enabling the imaging of phase shifts of the incident electrons due to the ...
