In a process analogous to how solids melt into liquids, the electrons in many different metals form crystal-like patterns ...

In materials science, if you can understand the "texture" of a material—how its internal patterns form and shift—you can begin to design how it behaves. That's the focus of the work of Zhenglu Li, ...

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 ...

Traditional electron microscopy techniques include scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where electrons that interact with the sample are imaged. 4 The ...

A model for the structure of the electron is proposed, in which the electron is composed of electric tripole, i.e., a +1 charge at the center and two −1 charges circul ...
