Auburn University scientists have developed a new class of materials that allow precise control over free electrons, ...

In a unique experiment, researchers have clocked how long it takes for an electron to be emitted from an atom. The result is .00000000000000002 seconds, or 20 billionths of a billionth of a second.

Nonlinear optical dynamics—intensity-dependent response of light upon interaction with materials under high-intensity light ...

It may not have won an Oscar, but the tiny electron has finally made its film debut. A new video shows how an electron rides on a light wave after just having been pulled away from an atom. This is ...

What occurs when electrons escape from a solid material? Though it may appear straightforward, this process has long resisted ...

In conventional electron microscopes, performing atomic-resolution observations of magnetic materials is particularly difficult because high magnetic fields are inevitably exerted on samples inside ...

Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe) are stellar explosions that occur in stars with initial masses around 8–10 times that of ...
