The optical properties of a thin layer of the semiconductor germanium-tin (GeSn) sandwiched between barriers of silicon-germanium-tin (SiGeSn), a structure known as a quantum well, have been studied ...

An international team of researchers has solved a long-standing puzzle in quantum physics by discovering an elusive quasiparticle, called a polaron, in a unique rare-earth material. The discovery, ...

Techniques resulting from the work of Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier let scientists capture the motions of subatomic particles moving at impossible speeds. By Emma Bubola and ...

Scientists have created the world's fastest microscope, which they hope will answer fundamental questions about how electrons behave. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

At low temperatures, hydrogen atoms move less like particles and more like waves. This characteristic enables quantum ...

Laser light can physically distort Janus TMD materials, revealing how their asymmetrical structure amplifies light-driven forces. These effects could power breakthroughs in photonic chips, sensors, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Matter gets weird at the quantum scale, and among the oddities is the Efimov effect, a state in which the attractive forces between three or more atoms bind them together, even ...

Antimatter particles are mirror versions of matter particles, with the opposite values of properties such as electric charge.
