Superconductivity is a phenomenon where certain materials can conduct electricity with zero resistance. Obviously, this has ...

A new article presents a theoretical analysis of electron spins in moving semiconductor quantum dots, showing how these can be controlled by electric fields in a way that suggests they may be usable ...

Researchers in the Netherlands have shown that it is possible to control the spin of a single electron by using an electric field rather than a magnetic field, as is usually the case. The breakthrough ...

No new particles: artist’s impression of how virtual particles could give the electron an electric dipole moment. (Courtesy: Nicolle Fuller/NSF) It is well known that the electron has a magnetic ...

A magical particle acceleration 'spectacle' is unfolding around distant Jupiter. This is not a scene from a science fiction movie, but a wondrous phenomenon occurring in Jupiter's magnetosphere. Today ...

Engineers have developed a lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) nanowire-based field emission gun that is installable on an aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope (TEM). This combined unit is ...

The Hitachi SU70 Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) with Oxford Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectrometer (EDS) is a top level research grade SEM with excellent performance both at low kV ...

The researchers first developed a system to automate the control and tuning of the device during data acquisition, significantly speeding up the imaging process to a speed of 10,000 images over 8.5 ...
