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 ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully mapped the shape of an electron while it moves through a solid. This groundbreaking discovery in quantum physics, led by MIT physicist Riccardo Comin ...
(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Tohoku University and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency have developed fundamental experiments and theories to manipulate the geometry of the 'electron universe,' which ...
The geometry or shape of a quantum system is mathematically expressed by a tool called the quantum geometric tensor (QGT). It also explains how a quantum system’s state changes when we tweak certain ...
Physicists are able to show for the first time how a single electron looks in an artificial atom. A newly developed method enables them to show the probability of an electron being present in a space.
The first step in finding electrons is to understand the basic structure of an atom. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons carry a positive charge and are located in the ...
