Both the atomic electrons, and the protons and neutrons inside the nucleus, are arranged in shells. These shells can be calculated using “fermion localization functions”, which map the density of ...

A research team led by Prof. Tian-Bao Ma from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tsinghua University has proposed a ...

According to a new empirical law, the transition temperature to superconductivity is high in copper oxides because their metallic states are as viscous as is permitted by the laws of quantum physics.

In the Van Allen radiation belts, electrons can reach almost the speed of light. Researchers have revealed conditions for such strong accelerations. They had demonstrated in 2020: during solar ...

Researchers discover that nickel oxide superconductors contain a phase of quantum matter, known as charge density waves, that's common in other unconventional superconductors. In other ways ...

The density of electrons needs to be lowered beyond a certain point, they need to be confined in a “trap”, and they need to be cooled almost to absolute zero, ...

Throughout this entire experiment, the team had been maintaining a certain density of electrons flowing through the material.And after they established their gradient, they began to change those ...

The team then used an electric field to tune the density of the electrons that moved freely along the interface between the two layers. On supporting science journalism.
