In a first, tiny diamond anvils trigger chemical reactions by squeezing
by
•Scientists have turned the smallest possible bits of diamond and other super-hard specks into ‘molecular anvils’ that squeeze and twist molecules until chemical bonds break and atoms exchange electrons. These …read more Source:: Science
Dance of auroras: First direct observation of electron frolic
by
•The shower of electrons bouncing across Earth’s magnetosphere — commonly known as the Northern Lights — has been directly observed for the first time by an international team of scientists. …read more Source:: Science
A particle like slow light
by
•Weyl particles are not particles which can move on their own (like electrons or protons), they only exist as ‘quasiparticles’ within a solid material. Now, for the first time, such …read more Source:: Science
First look at electrons escaping atoms
by
•Researchers have taken a first step toward controlling electrons’ behavior inside matter — and thus the first step down a long and complicated road that could eventually lead to the …read more Source:: Science
