Illustrating the Electron Topology Using ‘3D Glasses’

Credit: Unsplush.Topological quantum materials are viewed as a promising prospect for energy-efficient electronics and advanced technology in the future. Among their remarkable features is the ability to conduct spin-polarized electrons on their surface, despite being non-conductive in their interior.To better grasp this concept, it's important to understand that spin-polarized electrons possess intrinsic angular momentum,...

A More Precise Measurement of Electron Magnetic Moment was Achieved

Measurement of magnetic Moment of the electron: (a) Cryogenic system supports a 50 mK electron trap upon a 4.2 K solenoid to provide a very stable B. (b) Silver electrodes of a cylindrical Penning trap. (c) Quantum spin and cyclotron energy levels were used for measurement. Credit: Physical Review Letters (2023).
