Researchers at ETH Zurich have shown, for the first time with very high time and spatial resolution, that electrons in certain two-dimensional materials only follow the motion of the atomic nuclei ...

A surface plasmon (SP) is a fundamental excitation state that exists in metal nanostructures. Over the past several years, the performance of optoelectronic devices has been improved greatly via the ...

Researchers were able to demonstrate that the electrons in graphene are extremely mobile and react very quickly. Impacting xenon ions with a particularly high electric charge on a graphene film causes ...

Led by Zheng Ren, right, and Ming Yi, left, a new study on iron-tin thin films reshapes scientific understanding of kagome magnets. A discovery by Rice University physicists and collaborators is ...

A quasiparticle composed of localized and mobile electrons, here broken up by an ultrashort light pulse. Courtesy: University of Bonn Researchers have directly observed fermionic quasiparticles slowly ...

Nanoribbons are promising topological materials displaying novel electronic properties. Chemists and physicists have found a way to join two different types of nanoribbon to create a topological ...

Electrons have different properties - and they all can be used to create order in solid objects. This order determines the properties of the material. Experiments now show: It is possible to influence ...
