For decades, the scanning tunnelling microscope has been the gold standard for seeing matter one atom at a time. By hovering ...

Researchers found that atomic-scale surface steps can guide superconducting vortices in an ultrathin superconductor.

Researchers in Japan have shown that a surface step only one atom high can act like a rail for quantum vortices, allowing the ...

Stuart Fails to Save the Universe episode 9 runs five quantum physics thought experiments inside its DC Comics crossover and ...

A team of researchers led by the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) developed a powerful new approach that enabled them to directly observe how electrons ...

Berkeley Lab scientists have directly observed how electrons change from a Wigner solid to a Fermi liquid inside a 2D ...

A collaboration between experimentalists and theorists has developed a new way to study how electrons interact with defects in advanced semiconductors used in ultrathin electronic devices.

VPNs are a fantastic security tool. While they aren't infallible, a properly configured VPN can secure your traffic across apps and websites. But the added network latency can slow down apps that rely ...

Okay, so quantum tunneling. It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, right? Like a character phasing through a wall. Well, in the super tiny world of quantum mechanics, it’s actually a real ...

Berkeley Lab scientists developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable for crystallography. By combining 4D-STEM with computational “virtual ...

Scientists achieve optical measurements at atomic scales using quantum electron tunneling, surpassing conventional microscopy limits by nearly 100,000 times with standard lasers. (Nanowerk News) From ...

Inserting, removing or swapping individual atoms from the core of a molecule is a long-standing challenge in chemistry. This process, called skeletal editing, can dramatically speed up drug discovery ...
