In materials science, if you can understand the "texture" of a material—how its internal patterns form and shift—you can ...

A new imaging technique uncovers how electronic patterns in quantum materials evolve unevenly across space and temperature.

The ability to precisely study and manipulate electrons in electron microscopes could open new possibilities for the development of both ultrafast imaging techniques and quantum technologies.

Yale physicist Leonid Glazman has developed a quantitative theory to explain the effect of quantum and thermal fluctuations of charge in tiny “electron puddles” for a study reported in the journal ...

The periodic table isn’t just a list of elements—it’s a map of predictable patterns called periodic trends. These trends, like atomic radius, electronegativity, and ionization energy, help scientists ...

(Nanowerk News) In their new study ("Electron Vortices in Photoionization by Circularly Polarized Attosecond Pulses"), physicists Anthony Starace and Jean Marcel Ngoko Djiokap report an unusual ...

The groundbreaking discovery could open new doors for other researchers working with delicate materials such as cell membranes. (Nanowerk News) Imagine drawing on something as delicate as a living ...

One of the greatest challenges in designing electronics is drawing very fine details. You normally need lithography, which complicates the process by requiring masks. However, Oak Ridge National ...

What Is Electron Beam Lithography? Electron beam lithography (EBL) is a technique for creating high-resolution patterns on a semiconductor substrate by directing a beam of electrons to selectively ...
