Over the past few years we’ve seen several impressive projects where people try to manufacture integrated circuits using hobbyist tools. One of the most complex parts of this process is lithography: ...

A valence electron in titanium oxide has been imaged at a resolution of 0.2 Angstroms using synchrotron X-ray diffraction and a new Fourier synthesis method that can determine the orbital states in ...

For the first time, scientists have successfully mapped the shape of an electron while it moves through a solid. This ...

The behavior of electrons on a single-crystal gold surface was investigated. On the Au(111) surface, a difference in the magnitude of the electrons' in-plane momentum component (proportional to the in ...
