How can data be processed at lightning speed, or electricity conducted without loss? To achieve this, scientists and industry ...

However, the spin-orbit interaction arises predominantly from relativistic effects at high energies, whereas in solid-state systems such as semiconductors, quantum mechanical phenomena at low ...

Textbooks give strange, imprecise explanations of where things happen in quantum mechanics. Consistency with gravity needs a fresh approach.

Princeton physicists have discovered an abrupt change in quantum behavior while experimenting with a three-atom-thin insulator that can be easily switched into a superconductor. The research promises ...

If you are curious how all this ties back to quantum theory, you can trace the roots of chiral electron flow back to the early days of quantum electrodynamics – when physicists first started ...

Space charge limited electron emission refers to the regime in which the electron current emitted from a cathode is constrained by the mutual repulsion of electrons, rather than by the intrinsic ...

Instead, they introduced the concept of spin-lattice interaction, a relativistic effect that can be directly incorporated into the quantum mechanical description of electrons in solids.
