A research team in Kiel has demonstrated a previously unknown effect in graphene—a single layer of carbon atoms whose discovery earned the 2010 Nobel Prize. For years, graphene has been seen as a ...

Scientists have developed a simulation that can predict how tens of thousands of electrons move in materials in real time, or natural time rather than compute time. Developed by a team from the ...

For the first time, researchers show light pulses can create electrons at specific sites in graphene, uncovered through ...

For the first time, scientists have used ultrafast X-ray flashes to take a direct image of a single electron as it moved during a chemical reaction. In the new study, published Aug. 20 in the journal ...

Beneath the ground, a hidden electrical world powers the chemistry that shapes ecosystems, controls water quality, and determines the fate of pollutants. A new review published in Environmental and ...

Scientists observed record-breaking electron mobility — seven times higher than in conventional semiconductors — with a material made from the same elements as quartz and gold. When you purchase ...

Scientists have created the world's fastest microscope, which they hope will answer fundamental questions about how electrons behave. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Most people have a phone charger plugged in next to their bed, which they never bother to switch off at the wall - but is that risky to do?
