If you picture an electron breaking free from a solid, the process seems simple. Give it enough energy, and it should blast ...

What happens when electrons leave a solid material? This seemingly simple phenomenon has, until now, eluded accurate ...

A team of researchers from TU Wien has shed new light on the behavior of electrons fleeing a solid material. Their research ...

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, ...

Researchers from EeroQ, the quantum computing company pioneering electron-on-helium technology, have published a paper, ...

Quantum clocks built from randomness offer a new perspective on time, merging quantum mechanics with timekeeping and ...

For the first time, scientists have observed electrons in graphene behaving like a nearly perfect quantum fluid, challenging a long-standing puzzle in physics. By creating ultra-clean samples, the ...

The 2025 Nobel prize in Physics has been awarded to three scientists for the discovery of an effect that has applications in ...

Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a superposition of multiple states, as popularized by the Schrödinger's cat analogy, ...

Imagine using just a flicker of sunlight to break stubborn chemical bonds that once required intense energy or toxic chemicals to split. This may sound almost impossible, but chemists at the Hong Kong ...

So how do you get an electron to float on top of helium? To find out, Ars spoke with Johannes Pollanen, the chief scientific officer of EeroQ, the company that accomplished the new work. He said that ...
