Scientists used electron beams to convert layered metal oxyhalides into free-standing single-atomic-layer metal oxide ...

Polymer dielectric breakdown mechanism resolved: physicists at Russia's Ioffe Institute confirmed quantum tunneling drives electrical failure in PET film, not electron collision. New lifetime ...

Attosecond-resolution experiments have determined the delay in an electron’s emission from a molecule after being ionized with light. The length of ionization delays provides important information on ...

A new technique pinpoints, with picometer resolution, the location from which an emitted electron originates within a molecule. Coming out of the clouds. A new experiment tracks the emission of ...

Tunneling is a peculiar quantum phenomenon with no classical counterpart. It plays an essential role for strong field phenomena in atoms and molecules interacting with intense lasers. Processes such ...

Ions are everywhere, from our daily surroundings to the cosmic expanse. As common table salt (NaCl) dissolves into sodium (Na +) and chloride (Cl-) ions in water, it imparts a salty taste. Once ...

Simulations reveal that the energy level of donor surface states, rather than their density, governs the two-dimensional ...

There are various ways to create artificial diamonds, but a new method developed by researchers including those at the University of Tokyo yields some extra benefits. By specially preparing samples ...

Six critical steps are involved in the manufacturing of semiconductors. These steps include deposition, photoresist, lithography, etch, ionization and packaging. This article discusses several ...
