16-08-08 New research suggests that it is possible to create a new form of light by binding light to a single electron, combining the properties of both. According to the scientists behind the study, from Imperial College London, the coupled light and electr...

16-05-25 For nearly 60 years, scientists have been trying to determine how manganese oxide (MnO) achieves its long-range magnetic order of alternating up and down electron spins. Now, a team of scientists has used their recently developed mathematical approa...

14-10-30 Experiments on the DIII-D tokamak that General Atomics operates for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) have demonstrated the ability of lithium injections to transiently double the temperature and pressure at the edge of the plasma and delay the on...

14-10-14 Spintronics is an emerging field of technology where devices work by manipulating the spin of electrons rather than their charge. The field can bring significant advantages to computer technology, combining higher speeds with lower energy consumptio...

14-07-02 A Binghamton University physicist and his colleagues say they have unlocked one key mystery surrounding high-temperature superconductivity. Their research, published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found a remarkabl...

13-12-30 Researchers have developed a way to microscopically view battery electrodes while they are bathed in wet electrolytes（电解质） , mimicking realistic conditions inside actual batteries. While life sciences researchers regularly use transmission elec...

13-08-08 High pressures and temperatures cause materials to exhibit unusual properties, some of which can be special. Understanding such new properties is important for developing new materials for desired industrial uses and also for understanding the inter...

12-11-05 Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion (MPI CEC) and the Ruhr-Universitt Bochum (RUB) have found through spectroscopic（光谱学的） investigations on a hydrogen-producing enzyme that the environment of the catalytic sit...

11-06-17 The international T2K collaboration announced today that they have observed an indication（指示） of a new type of neutrino（微中子） transformation or oscillation from a muon neutrino to an electron neutrino. Boston University Professor of Physics...

10-09-28 A team led by engineers and physicists at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia, have developed one of the key building blocks needed to make a quantum（量子论） computer using silicon: a single electron reader. Their work wa...
