In superconducting materials, pairs of electrons form a shared quantum-mechanical state. Control of this macroscopic quantum state is a key feature that is required for superconducting quantum ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The 2023 Nobel prize in physics was just awarded to three ...

Yet even at this apparently late date in the field’s development, there are companies that are still developing entirely new qubit technologies, betting the company that they have identified something ...

The distribution of outermost shell electrons, known as valence electrons, of organic molecules was experimentally observed for the first time by a team led by Nagoya University in Japan. As the ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have shown that – differently from what had been assumed up to now – electrons in certain solids follow the motion of the atomic nuclei in the crystal lattice with a delay.

Researchers have broken the record for the shortest pulse of electrons created, producing a signal just 53 attoseconds long – or 53 billionths of a billionth of a second. The achievement could lead to ...
