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.

A quantum network of distant clocks The entangled clocks can test how quantum theory behaves in the presence of curved space-time as predicted by Einstein, or whether our current theories break down.

Researchers at MIT have observed “electron whirlpools” for the first time. The bizarre behavior arises when electricity flows as a fluid, which could make for more efficient electronics.

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.
