It's hard to tell when you're catching some rays at the beach, but light packs a punch. Not only does a beam of light carry ...

Electrons, negatively charged subatomic particles that are found in all atoms, are known from our high school physics as the ...

When we were in school, they always told us we can’t see atoms. If you have an electron microscope, then they were wrong. [AlphaPhoenix] has access to a scanning tunneling transmission electron ...

In a new experiment, light beams carrying orbital angular momentum caused electrons in graphene to gain (blue beam) and lose ...

A team led by Francesca Ferlaino has set a new milestone in atomic physics by trapping individual erbium atoms in optical ...
