Now, adding a twisting laser beam that interacts with these electrons makes things even more complicated. And in that ...

Physicists have detected laser-assisted electron scattering using circularly polarized light for the first time, revealing new ways to probe atomic-scale chirality.

“Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.” – Niels Bohr. This seemingly paradoxical statement, which by any measure would appear to provide evidence against the ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

A team of Chinese researchers has conducted an experiment that is nicknamed the "Chinese artificial sun" using the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) fusion device. The EAST device ...

Scientists have discovered that electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, driven by tiny atomic vibrations.

The T2K experiment, whose primary purpose is to study neutrino interactions at a large distance from their source, has detected 6 electron neutrino candidate events based on the data collected before ...

Measuring up: an electron scattering experiment yields a small proton radius. (Courtesy: Jefferson Lab) For nearly a decade the size of the particle that makes up the bulk of the universe’s visible ...

Researchers at McGill University have succeeded in simultaneously observing the reorganizations of atomic positions and electron distribution during the transformation of the "smart material" vanadium ...
