A surprising breakthrough in physics could reshape the future of computing by tapping into a strange, previously untapped property of matter. Scientists have shown that tiny atomic vibrations—called ...

Electrons, the negatively charged particles around atoms, have split "personalities," and act one way or the other depending on how many of them are around, new research suggests. The finding could ...

In a process analogous to how solids melt into liquids, the electrons in many different metals form crystal-like patterns ...

Dark matter particles could be mediators of the interaction between electrons and atomic nuclei, as shown by a study ...

Standoffish electrons typically keep one another at arm’s length, repelling their neighbors. But surprisingly, under certain circumstances, this repulsion can cause pairs of electrons to soften their ...

The Nobel Physics Prize this year went to physicists Anne L’Huillier, Pierre Agostini, and Ferenc Krausz for developing a way to spy on the ultra-fast lives of electrons. The physicists’ combined 40 ...
