In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated that quantum light, particularly bright squeezed ...

Researchers have succeeded in controlling the spin of a single electron merely by using electric fields. This clears the way for a much simpler realization of the building blocks of a (future) ...

The ability to precisely study and manipulate electrons in electron microscopes could open new possibilities for the ...

The team collaborated with a research group at the University of Cincinnati, led by Philippe Debray and Marc Cahay. Debray conceived and designed the experiments. The Ohio University researchers’ ...

A Hebrew University study finds light’s magnetic field plays a larger role in material behavior than believed, with implications for optical and quantum technologies.

The method allows for the spatially resolved observation of transport processes in semiconductor devices.

No new particles: artist’s impression of how virtual particles could give the electron an electric dipole moment. (Courtesy: Nicolle Fuller/NSF) It is well known that the electron has a magnetic ...

A new article presents a theoretical analysis of electron spins in moving semiconductor quantum dots, showing how these can be controlled by electric fields in a way that suggests they may be usable ...

A layered form of graphene shows a rare semimetal state with balanced electrons and holes that becomes a topological ...

Long thought to be a simple speck of negative charge, the humble electron may be hiding one more surprise in its depths. The electron was the first fundamental particle discovered. It was the first to ...
