Researchers at the University of Innsbruck, along with those at Dortmund, Bayreuth, and Linz universities, have demonstrated ...

Strong Light Fields can Create New Quantum States. Electrons can only possess specific energy levels while bound to an atom, and these energy values are primarily determined by the atoms themselves.

Researchers have placed an electron in a dual state -- neither freed nor bound -- thus confirming a hypothesis from the 1970s Date: April 16, 2018 ...

Why is it that atoms have well-defined energy states, but large collections of atoms have broad energy bands? It all has to do with Schrodinger's cat, and the physics of fenced-in dogs.

Hybrid electron-photon states are created, known as 'dressed states'. These occur at laser intensities in the range of ten to a hundred trillion watts per square centimetre.

Phonon refers to a unit of energy that characterizes a vibration, or, in this case, the oscillation of the trapped electron. The desirable result was a single-phonon readout and ground-state cooling.

Cold electron transport at room temperature. We created an energy filtering structure by incorporating a QW into a double-barrier tunnelling junction (DBTJ) configuration, Fig. 1a.When a voltage ...

The ability to control electron spin could reshape multiple sectors of clean energy. In hydrogen production, spin-regulated catalysts make oxygen evolution reactions more efficient and cost-effective.

Superconductivity occurs when electrons in a metal pair up. Scientists in Germany have now discovered that electrons can also group together into families of four, creating a new state of matter ...
