A new study published in Nature Physics introduces a theory of electron-phonon coupling that is affected by the quantum geometry of the electronic wavefunctions. The movement of electrons in a lattice ...

Scientists have long sought to understand the quantum metric (QM)—a fundamental quantity that measures how rapidly neighboring electronic states in a solid change across momentum space. Predicted to ...

Physicists have directly observed the electronic building blocks responsible for flat bands in quantum materials, confirming ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Tohoku University and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency have developed fundamental experiments and theories to manipulate the geometry of the 'electron universe,' which ...

Fullerene's perfect symmetry turns a long-standing weakness of molecular electronics into a programmable three-state switch.

An electron is trapped in a quantum dot, which is formed in a two-dimensional gas in a semiconductor wafer. However, the electron moves within the space and, with different probabilities corresponding ...
