New observations confirm an 80-year-old quantum theory

Science synopsis: Strong signs of quantum spin liquid observed in YbMgGaO4 crystals by neutron scattering off ytterbium electrons

Recently developed ultra-low-friction sliding contact mechanism uses chilled water to remove heat from a key component of a next-generation collider

New technique reveals direct experimental evidence of strong coupling between electron motion and deformations in atomic arrangements that affect the flow of current

"If you want to see something that happens very, very fast, you need a tool that can measure a very, very tiny time period."

In the new study, researchers used an advanced scanning transmission electron microscope to measure isotopes in nanometer-sized areas of a graphene sample

The findings present a promising step forward towards being able to manipulate and control the behaviour of high energy, or ‘hot’, electrons

Study shows that radioactive material acts like a salt, a nuance that could benefit nuclear detectors and reactors

The automated process is controlled by weaving a STEM instrument’s electron beam through a liquid-filled cell to spur deposition of metal onto a silicon microchip

Instrument is one step forward in a new field of physics called valleytronics
