In a groundbreaking studypublished in Physical Review Letters, researchers led by Professor Dong Eon Kim of POSTECH’s ...

The alchemist's dream is to make gold from common metals, but can this be done? The physics needed to explain how to change ...

For the first time ever, scientists have watched electrons perform a bizarre quantum feat: tunneling through atomic barriers by not just slipping through, but doubling back and slamming into the ...

A team of physicists has experimentally uncovered what electrons do during quantum tunneling, revealing a surprising internal ...

"God does not play dice." This famous remark by Albert Einstein critiqued the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics.

Light-on-light scattering is an exotic process with surprising significance for particle physics. Researchers show that a ...

A pioneering team at the University of Maryland has captured the first-ever images of atomic thermal vibrations, unlocking an ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether in a physics class, in the lab, or in popular science writing, is left ...

Researchers use electron ptychography to capture atomic vibrations in twisted 2D materials with record-breaking precision.

An attosecond—or 0.000000000000000001 second—is no time at all for a person. That is not so for electrons, atoms and ...

Researchers at MIT have observed “electron whirlpools” for the first time. The bizarre behavior arises when electricity flows as a fluid, which could make for more efficient electronics.
