Electron Blockbusters: Nobel Prize-Winning Attosecond Movies and the Future of Technology
Attosecond light pulses help researchers understand the movement of electrons. Credit: Greg Stewart/SLAC National Accelerator LaboratoryThe 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics acknowledges the visualization of ultrafast electron movements using laser pulses. This attosecond-scale research has vast potential, from influencing chemical reactions to advancing electronic technologies.Electrons moving around in a molecule might not seem like the
Electron Pairing in Artificial Atoms: Physicists Confirm Quantum State Predicted Over 50 Years Ago
Physicists have observed a quantum state, theorized over 50 years ago, by pairing electrons in an artificial atom on a superconductor, creating a basic version of superconductivity. This discovery showcases the behavior of paired electrons (bosons) that can coexist in the same space, unlike single electrons. This work has implications for advancing the understanding of
Researchers use electron microscope to turn nanotube into tiny transistor
