Researchers have demonstrated that electron orbitals, not just spin, can serve as a practical lever for controlling magnetism in solid-state devices. A series of recent experiments and theoretical ...

AMES, Iowa – Mayly Sanchez clicked to a presentation slide showing the telltale track of an electron neutrino racing through the 14,000-ton Far Detector of the NOvA Neutrino Experiment. Since that ...

Quantum nano-mechanics. Quantum jumps in atomic physics. Continuous transitions between quantum states in quantum‒classical mechanics for molecular and chemical physics involve both chaotic (dozy ...

Researchers at the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) have definitively resolved a two-decade-long controversy regarding the direction of electron spin on the surface of gold. Subscribe to our ...

The electron state localized on the Au(111) surface was analyzed. Its spin orientation was determined using soft X-rays combined with a two-dimensional spin detector. By employing vacuum ultraviolet ...
