What are some of the fastest events in the Universe? Electron motion around an atom ranks right up there. Next question: how do you measure the fastest events in the Universe? (hint: Casio is not ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Swing dancing. Songwriting. And theoretical condensed matter physics. It's a unique person who can master all three, but a ...

The synchronized dance of electrons, known as plasmonic resonance, can confine light for brief periods of time. That light-trapping ability has been applied in a wide range of areas, from turning ...

Scientists have achieved a 100-fold increase in the ability to maintain control the spins of electrons in a solid material, a key step in the development of ultrafast quantum computers. In the ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of researchers has devised a simple way to tune a hallmark quantum effect in graphene – the material formed from a single layer of carbon atoms – by bathing it in light. Their ...

Scientists have successfully created an ultrapure material that captures new states of matter and could have applications in high-speed quantum computing. The material, gallium arsenide, is used to ...

Until recently, the best attempts at such control lasted for only a fraction of a second. But researchers Stephen Lyon and Alexei Tyryshkin have found a way to extend the control over the spins of ...

It may be the smallest, shortest chorus dance ever recorded. As reported in Science Advances, an international team of researchers observed how electrons, excited by ultrafast light pulses, danced in ...
