Cornell researchers have used advanced electron microscopy to identify "mouse bite" defects in 3D transistors for the first time ...

Phonons are the collective vibrations that move through a solid. They can be thought of as waves traveling across the atomic ...

Cornell researchers have used high-resolution 3D imaging to detect, for the first time, the atomic-scale defects in computer chips that can sabotage their performance. The imaging method, which was ...

Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In ...

AlScN can be lattice-matched to GaN and integrated into blue light-emitting diodes as the electron blocking layer ...

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...

One of the big themes of the talks I went to at last week's March Meeting was the exploration of exotic materials, with names like "topological insulators" and "Weyl semi-metals." While there are a ...

Under the right circumstances, electrons can actually “freeze” into a bizarre solid form. Now, physicists at Berkeley Lab have created and taken the first ever direct images of this structure. At low ...

Researchers are investigating novel ways by which electrons are knocked out of matter. Their research could have implications for radiation therapy. A team of researchers led by physical chemist ...

Static electricity works because electrons are strongly attracted to protons, right? But, in atoms, electrons are right there, next to the protons in the nucleus. Why don’t the electrons zip directly ...

We present a theoretical and experimental study of a plasmonic nanoelectrode architecture that is able to inject bunches of hot electrons into an aqueous environment. In this approach, electrons are ...
