A new analysis reveals what happens when very short or narrow electron beams encounter a particle. The research is published ...

A team of physicists from the University of Vienna, TU Wien, and Ulm University has cooled a levitated silica nanoparticle to ...

Compton scattering, whereby high‐energy photons interact with nucleons, serves as a pivotal probe into the structure of matter. This process not only facilitates a direct investigation into the ...

Studying and designing novel materials is a central application of quantum mechanics. Chemists, materials scientists, and ...

Physicists have discovered that when beams of light interact at the quantum level, they can generate ghost-like particles that briefly emerge from nothing and affect real matter. This rare phenomenon, ...
