For decades, the scanning tunnelling microscope has been the gold standard for seeing matter one atom at a time. By hovering a sharpened metal tip a few atoms’ widths above a surface and measuring t ...
It's not an electron. But it sure does act like one. Northwestern University researchers have made a strange and startling discovery that nanoparticles engineered with DNA in colloidal crystals—when ...
A special microscope has visualized changes of electron current distribution that clearly indicate a transition from ohmic to viscous electron flow in graphene. Figure 1: Sketch of the experimental ...
A team of researchers at the U.S. National Institute for Standards and Technology has found that electron current flow direction produced by the photon-drag effect is dependent on the environment in ...
Like a surfer riding a wave, a single electron is transported by an acoustic pulse traveling along the surface of a microchip. A moving melody. Researchers have demonstrated that a solitary sound wave ...
