Devices that can confine individual electrons are potential building blocks for quantum information systems. But the electrons must be protected from external disturbances. RIKEN researchers have now ...

We describe electricity as a flow, but that’s not what happens in a typical wire. Physicists have begun to induce electrons to act like fluids, an effort that could illuminate new ways of thinking ...

Precise measurements show that future quantum computers may need to correct for errors caused by interference between neighboring quantum dots.

New satellite-based analysis explains how energy carried by Alfvén waves moves from Earth’s magnetosphere into the atmosphere to generate auroral light emissions.

Perovskite solar cells have surged from laboratory curiosities to serious contenders against silicon in barely a decade, yet ...

Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current. That mismatch has bothered solar researchers for more than a decade. Silicon ...

Geophysicists studied the activity of high energy electrons and clarified the unexpected protective role of the geomagnetic field surrounding the Earth. Tohoku University geophysicist Yuto Katoh led a ...

The Signal Path] shows us how to recreate a classic science experiment to measure the weight of an electron. Things are ...
