After analyzing the dust with more powerful electron microscopes, the researchers found many more of these crystals and examined them in much greater detail. However, even then, "finding the ...

The orbital angular momentum of electrons has long been considered a minor physical phenomenon, suppressed in most crystals ...

Tiny strains in a crystal can cause electrons to behave in a surprising way that closely resembles a highly sought-after ...

Andrew Iams saw something strange while looking through his electron microscope ... Iams had to carefully rotate the crystal under the microscope and show that it also had threefold symmetry ...

The orbital angular momentum of electrons has long been considered a minor physical phenomenon, suppressed in most crystals and largely overlooked. Scientists have now discovered that in certain ...

Basically, it’s the same solid electron phase ... Actually viewing the crystal proved to be another challenge. A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is normally used to image things on this ...

The recent team used high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy to directly image ... In the 1970s, a team at Bell Laboratories created an electron crystal by spraying the particles on helium ...

A new international study has confirmed that a mysterious feature found in dinosaur eggshells—called secondary eggshell units ...

However, it is challenging to keep electron and hole crystals together without them ... using a technique called scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). STM is a powerful tool that uses quantum ...
