A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...

Cycloaddition reactions represent a cornerstone of synthetic organic chemistry, facilitating the formation of cyclic structures through concerted pericyclic processes. Traditionally explained via ...

When quantum electrodynamics, the quantum field theory of electrons and photons, was being developed after World War II, one of the major challenges for theorists was calculating a value for the Lamb ...

Researchers have demonstrated that electron orbitals, not just spin, can serve as a practical lever for controlling magnetism ...

A newly measured value of an electron’s magnetic moment 1 — a property of its spin and charge — is twice as precise as the one physicists have used for the past 14 years. The electron magnetic moment ...

Using a new method, physicists found a way to 'catapult' electrons across solar materials in quadrillionths of a second.
