Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Physicists have created the world’s fastest microscope, and it’s so quick that it can spot electrons in motion. The new device, a ...

To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to ...

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

Electrons in graphene break a key law of metals and reveal a strange quantum fluid. The discovery has surprised scientists.

A remarkable consequence of quantum mechanics is that electrons can display interference effects. This interference is similar to waves interacting in the ocean or the electromagnetic waves that carry ...

Behold, the world’s fastest microscope: it works at such an astounding speed that it’s the first-ever device capable of capturing a clear image of moving electrons. This is a potentially ...
