Scientists have made the most precise measurement yet of the electron's atomic mass. "It is a major technical improvement," said Edmund Myers, a physicist at Florida State University, who wrote an ...

However, the Standard Model does not adequately explain all aspects of physics, and therefore the discovery of electron decay could help physicists to develop a new and improved model of nature. This ...

The electron, against predictions, appears to be perfectly round, raising questions about one of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. An electron's shape refers to that of the cloud of ...

Recently, Professor Yang Xiaoping's research group at the High Magnetic Field Laboratory, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, discovered a tunable and ...

PolyU researchers make breakthrough discovery in structure and synthesis of 2D ferroelectrics, ... To overcome the challenges, the research team utilised the transmission electron microscopy ...

Discovery of a new phase of matter in 2D defies normal statistical mechanics. ... "A big limitation of large quantum systems is that we can't model them on a computer," said Schneider.

Since the discovery of graphene, the field of research in extremely thin materials, so-called 2D materials, has increased exponentially. The reason is that 2D materials have a large surface area ...

McGill University researchers have discovered a new state of matter, a quasi-three- dimensional electron crystal, in a material very much alike those used in the fabrication of modern transistors.

The discovery of the QAH as the topological Mott insulator state in our model computation at filling v=3 sheds light on the phases that occur in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene.

If this discovery holds, it has the potential to throw modern physics wide open. The problem child is a particle called the muon, a heavier and shadier cousin of the electron.
