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 ...

A team of researchers from TU Wien has shed new light on the behavior of electrons fleeing a solid material. Their research ...

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, ...

For decades, physicists have talked about quantum distance, a way of measuring how similar or different two quantum states are. In this strange scale, a distance of one means two quantum states are ...

First experimental proof of a new quantum phenomenon. (Nanowerk News) A previously unseen quantum phenomenon first predicted several years ago has been experimentally demonstrated by an international ...

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

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 ...

Auburn scientists have designed new materials that manipulate free electrons to unlock groundbreaking applications. These ...

So how do you get an electron to float on top of helium? To find out, Ars spoke with Johannes Pollanen, the chief scientific officer of EeroQ, the company that accomplished the new work. He said that ...

Nobel Prize in Physics is a tribute to the scientists who first discovered quantum behaviors in a macroscopic electrical ...
