The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When high-energy light hits atoms, it knocks electrons loose. This process powers ...

What happens when electrons leave a solid material? This seemingly simple phenomenon has, until now, eluded accurate ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained by Albert Einstein in 1905, laid the foundation for quantum mechanics. It occurs when high-energy light strikes atoms, releasing electrons. This phenomenon is ...

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, ...

(Nanowerk News) Electrons – these infinitesimally small particles that are known to zip around atoms – continue to amaze scientists despite the more than a century that scientists have studied them.

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have discovered a new material, MnBi6Te10, which can be used to create quantum highways along ...

UNSW engineers have made a significant advance in quantum computing: they created 'quantum entangled states'—where two separate particles become so deeply linked they no longer behave ...

Researchers from EeroQ, the quantum computing company pioneering electron-on-helium technology, have published a paper, ...

Creating and controlling quantum dots via electrical methods, is likely to lead to new frontiers in the quest to develop stable and efficient qubits. Exploring how zinc oxide can be used in ...
