Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

An international team of researchers has found a way to control the spin of electrons – from a normal state to excited and back again – in a silicon-based material. The scientists believe ...

In this state, an electron still has some wave-like properties, but it is also very much like a particle, in that it can really be thought of as orbiting the nucleus in a circular or elliptical orbit.

Chepelianskii et al.show that electrons on liquid helium exhibit an incompressible state when they are excited by a microwave field at particular frequencies related with the Landau level spacing.
