During electron-impact ionization (EII), high-energy electrons collide with atoms, knocking away one or more of their outer electrons. To calculate...
Scientists at the University of Konstanz in Germany have advanced ultrafast electron microscopy to unprecedented time resolution. Reporting in Science...
Quantum computers have the potential to be revolutionary tools for their ability to perform calculations that would take classical computers...
As lasers go, those made of Titanium-sapphire (Ti:sapphire) are considered to have “unmatched” performance. They are indispensable in many fields,...
The membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin is a proton pump, in which proton transport is initiated by the light-induced isomerization of the...
EPFL researchers have succeeded in directing floating objects around an aquatic obstacle course using only soundwaves. Their novel, optics-inspired method...
In a study published in Nature Communications, a team of scientists led by Rice University’s Qimiao Si predicts the existence...
Physicists have long been pursuing the idea of simulating quantum particles with a computer that is itself made up of...

Chiral molecules—that is, those that have mirror images of themselves—have significant benefits for transistors and solar energy devices. Studying their...
For the last seven decades, astrophysicists have theorized the existence of “kugelblitze,” black holes caused by extremely high concentrations of...
The space environment is harsh and full of extreme radiation. Scientists designing spacecraft and satellites need materials that can withstand...
