Physicists are learning to treat light not as an untouchable beam that simply passes through matter, but as something that ...

The ability to precisely study and manipulate electrons in electron microscopes could open new possibilities for the development of both ultrafast imaging techniques and quantum technologies. Over the ...

One of the most fundamental interactions in physics is that of electrons and light. In an experiment, scientists have now managed to observe what is known as the Kapitza-Dirac effect for the first ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2024.230184 , discusses tailoring electron vortex beams with customizable intensity patterns by electron diffraction holography. In ...

Researchers have made a meaningful advance in the simulation of molecular electron transfer -- a fundamental process underpinning countless physical, chemical and biological processes. The study ...

Traditional electron microscopy techniques include scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), where electrons that interact with the sample are imaged. 4 The ...

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 ...

Superradiance When multiple electrons emit light in a coordinated manner, the resulting emission is much stronger than the sum of individual emissions. (Courtesy ...
