The revelation that electrons in the single-atom-thick material known as graphene can act much like a frictionless fluid is a significant departure from our conventional understanding of physics. This ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When high-energy light hits atoms, it knocks electrons loose. This process powers ...

Machine-learning tools have taken us closer to understanding electrons and how they behave in chemical interactions, following news that UK-based AI company DeepMind, owned by Google’s parent company ...
