Dirac electrons were predicted by P. Dirac and discovered by A. Geim, both of whom were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933 and in 2010, respectively. Dirac electrons behave like photons rather ...

A better understanding of how electrons convert energy into photons could lead to designing more efficient solar cells or better phototherapies for cancer. Researchers looking into the process have ...

Molecular design and light can control electron spin, resulting in fast orientation of the spin direction relative to an applied magnetic field. Controlling the orientation of a single unpaired ...
