For the first time, scientists have successfully mapped the shape of an electron while it moves through a solid. This ...

Imagine traveling through a city where the streets themselves change shape depending on how fast you drive down them. For tiny particles traveling close to the speed of light, such a thing may indeed ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Tohoku University and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency have developed fundamental experiments and theories to manipulate the geometry of the 'electron universe,' which ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? By hot swapping similar ideas, scientists built a model of quantum geometry that they ...

An electron is trapped in a quantum dot, which is formed in a two-dimensional gas in a semiconductor wafer. However, the electron moves within the space and, with different probabilities corresponding ...

A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...
