For the first time, researchers have successfully measured the shape of an electron as it moves through a solid, opening a ...

It was another good week for physics as a team at the University of Basel announced that they had determined the geometry of an electron for the first time—another necessary step in the development of ...

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Hamburg have discovered a striking ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully mapped the shape of an electron while it moves through a solid. This ...

(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 ...

Scientists have long sought to understand the quantum metric (QM)—a fundamental quantity that measures how rapidly neighboring electronic states in a solid change across momentum space. Predicted to ...

Known as quantum metric, this geometry reflects the curvature of the quantum space in which electrons move. It plays a crucial role in many phenomena at the microscopic scale of matter. Yet detecting ...
