UCLA scientists have discovered a new source of super-fast, energetic electrons raining down on Earth, a phenomenon that contributes to the colorful aurora borealis but also poses hazards to ...

Physicists have unveiled a new quantum state, a realm where electrons behave in a way previously unseen. This breakthrough, announced on November 17, 2025, marks a significant stride in the ...

The orbital angular momentum of electrons has long been considered a minor physical phenomenon, suppressed in most crystals and largely overlooked. Scientists have now discovered that in certain ...

In a surprising new study, researchers have found that the electron beam radiation that they previously thought degraded crystals can actually repair cracks in these nanostructures. The groundbreaking ...

The detected cosmic ray had an estimated energy of 244 EeV, comparable to the most energetic cosmic ray ever observed (Osaka Metropolitan University/L-INSIGHT) (CN) — Researchers out of Osaka, Japan, ...

In an unexpected new study, scientists at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities discovered that electron beam radiation, which they had previously believed damaged crystals, might help mend fissures ...

Researchers at Peking University and collaborators have revealed evidence of Mott insulator with thermally induced melting behavior in kagome compound Nb₃Cl₈. Using graphene-based chemical potential ...

It is not often that chemists create a new kind of chemical bond, but they have just done it. A covalent bond that relies on a single electron has been made almost a century after it was first ...

These electron microscope images show how the crack in a crystal of titanium dioxide begins to "heal" with increasing electron doses. MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (10/12/2023)—In a surprising new study, ...

(Nanowerk News) In a surprising new study (Nature Communications, "Mending cracks atom-by-atom in rutile TiO2 with electron beam radiolysis"), researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities ...
