Have you ever placed the palm of your left hand on the back of your right hand, in such a way that all fingers point in the same direction? If you have, then you probably know that your left thumb ...

Nothing is more emblematic of an electron than its negative charge. It’s the trait that determines how the particle behaves in electromagnetic environments, such as a wire’s electric field and Earth’s ...

In the development of materials for energy production and distribution, knowledge of molecular processes in electrical charge transfer is fundamental. Scientists have once more discovered that nature ...

Scientists at TU Wien found that electrons need specific “doorway states” to escape solids, not just energy. The insight ...

Ballistic electrons are among the most fascinating phenomena in modern quantum materials. Unlike ordinary electrons, they do ...

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have found a new way to control how electrons move in a breakthrough that could improve the performance of electrical devices. Electrons are ...

(Nanowerk News) Physicists in Konstanz (Germany) have discovered a way to imprint a previously unseen geometrical form of chirality onto electrons. The electrons are shaped into chiral coils of mass ...

Coil of charge and mass Physicists in Germany have created structured electrons with chiral mass and charge. (Courtesy: iStock/VikaSuh) This article has been updated because the original version ...
