Pat Dussault, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, praised Batelaan's achievements, stating, "The Davisson-Germer Prize ...

The proof, known to be so hard that a mathematician once offered 10 martinis to whoever could figure it out, uses number ...

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

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

A study shows electrons escape solids only through quantum doorways that appear in layered materials, changing how we ...

A team of researchers from TU Wien has shed new light on the behavior of electrons fleeing a solid material. Their research ...

If you picture an electron breaking free from a solid, the process seems simple. Give it enough energy, and it should blast ...

Scientists at TU Wien found that electrons need specific “doorway states” to escape solids, not just energy. The insight ...

Quantum wells, fabricated through the precise layering of different semiconductor materials, create confined regions where charge carriers are restricted to two dimensions. This confinement gives rise ...

Physicists show knotted cosmic strings may have dominated the early universe before collapsing to create matter—a theory ...

Quantum physics often reveals phenomena that defy common sense. A new theory of quantum scarring deepens our understanding of the connection between the quantum world and classical mechanics, sheds ...

A team from the Max Born Institute (MBI) in Berlin and DESY in Hamburg has built the world’s first plasma lens capable of focusing attosecond pulses, a feat that could transform ultrafast physics. The ...
