A new theoretical study led by researchers at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory has identified the ...

A vast, flat sheet of dark matter may solve the long-standing mystery of why our neighboring galaxy Andromeda is speeding ...

Physicists have finally built a microscope that can watch superconducting electrons move in real time, and the picture is far ...

The superconducting gap sets the basic energy scale that allows electricity to flow without resistance in a superconductor. In high‑temperature cuprates, the paired electrons (Cooper pairs) are mostly ...

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light you shine at it: Optical light illuminates a material’s surface, while X-rays reveal its internal structures and infrared captures ...

That low-frequency fuzz that can bedevil cellphone calls has to do with how electrons move through and interact in materials ...

MIT researchers have built a terahertz microscope that reveals hidden quantum motion inside superconductors for the first time.

You can tell a lot about a material based on the type of light shining at it: Optical light illuminates a material's surface, ...

Physicists discover hidden quantum geometry that warps electrons like gravity bends light, opening the door to faster, more ...

The noise that disrupts communication devices and sensors results from electrons being scattered by defects and temperature-driven vibrations in the materials they travel through. A UCLA-led research ...

Researchers have uncovered how atoms subtly rearrange themselves for up to a trillionth of a second before releasing ...

Researchers have discovered a hidden quantum geometry inside materials that subtly steers electrons, echoing how gravity ...
