Researchers at Swinburne University of Technology found the signatures of interactions between exciton-polarons in experiments on the 2D semiconductor monolayer tungsten-disulfide. FLEET collaborators ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a new understanding of how electrons behave in strong magnetic fields. Their results explain measurements of electric currents in three-dimensional materials that signal a ...
