How it works Schematic showing how a five-electron droplet (shown in blue) is transported inside the selected potential minimum of a SAW. Electrostatic gates (yellow) are used to guide the electron ...

Mystifying experimental results obtained independently by two research groups in the USA seemed to show coupled holes and electrons moving in the opposite direction to theory. Now, a new theoretical ...

(Phys.org)—As an elementary particle, the electron cannot be broken down into smaller particles, at least as far as is currently known. However, in a phenomenon called electron fractionalization, in ...

Light-induced ultrafast electron dynamics significantly impacts the fundamental processes in nature, such as molecular bond breaking and formation, chemical reactions, and biological metabolism.

High-energy electrons that collide at a beam splitter repel each other because of strong Coulomb interactions, which could be harnessed for quantum information processing. Wang et al. pursue a ...
