ITHACA, New York, Dec. 14 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
Electron interactions are mysterious, delicate, basic to our understanding of matter - and exponentially complex, says physicist Hongyuan Li.
With new tools he develops, Li detects interacting electrons in specialized two-dimensional (2D) materials.
"Each electron has a charge. They also carry a quantum property called 'spin.' These charges and spins can interact with each other . . .
