Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers, and more, through the movement of electrons within a ...
In a strange metal (translucent box), electrons (blue marbles) lose their individuality and melt into a featureless, liquid-like stream. We all learned that electricity is caused by electrons moving ...
I first learned of this area of research as a graduate student in physical chemistry. My doctoral adviser’s group had a project dedicated to studying chemical reactions with attosecond pulses. Before ...

What Are Electrons Made Of?

The question of what protons or neutrons are made up of has an apparently simple answer: quarks and gluons. However, when it ...
A light pulse redirects electrons in an ultrathin layered material, creating a stable new state without heat or damage and ...
Physicists have discovered how to make electrons “freeze” and “melt” into bizarre quantum patterns, forming a new kind of matter where solid and liquid coexist. Electricity drives nearly every aspect ...
Strange metals defy the 60-year-old understanding of electric current as a flow of discrete charges. (Nanowerk News) We all learned that electricity is caused by electrons moving in a metal. Each ...
