The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory and North Carolina State University researchers have developed a simulation capable of predicting how tens of thousands of electrons move in materials in real time, or ...

Real-time modeling of optical responses in nanostructures using RT-TDDFT helps interpret, understand and guide next-generation applications in science and technology. A research team from the ...

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have changed that. For the first time, they’ve managed to measure the quantum state of electrons emitted by atoms when struck by high-energy light. Their ...

To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to ...

(Nanowerk News) Electrons – these infinitesimally small particles that are known to zip around atoms – continue to amaze scientists despite the more than a century that scientists have studied them.

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 ...
