It has been revealed that simply twisting and stacking two layers of oxide crystals can allow the atomic arrangement itself to control the behavior of electrons. Much like the new patterns that emerge ...

Electrons are defined as very small particles with a negative electrical charge that travels around the nucleus of an atom. This atom speck is responsible for several unique properties, such as wave ...

Just as the heartbeats of today's electronic devices depend on the ability to switch the flow of electricity in semiconductors on and off with lightning speed, the viability of the "spintronic" ...

What do you get when you put a nuclear physicist, an optical physicist and a crystal-growing maestro together in a laboratory? This is not the beginning of a bad joke, but the starting point for ...

Physicists have been given the first glimpse of nuclear excitation by electron capture (NEEC), confirming theoretical predictions that were made more than 40 years ago. The global team – led by Jeff ...
