Scientists have used ultracold atoms to successfully demonstrate a novel method of particle acceleration that could unlock a ...

Excitons—bound pairs of electrons and an electron hole—are quasiparticles that can arise in solids. While so-called "bright" ...

Scientists have captured the moment a laser "comes to life"—and what they found challenges long-held beliefs. Using a special ...

Enrique Rico Ortega and Sofia Vallecorsa explain how quantum computing will allow physicists to model complex dynamics, from ...

Laser-produced plasmas are plasmas produced by firing high-intensity beams of light. Laser-produced plasmas have been used to create short bursts of x-rays and to accelerate particles — so ...

Enlarging metal grain size over electron mean free path is one of the ways to reduce resistivity in BEOL interconnect because it suppresses electron scattering at grain boundaries. In this work, by ...

A new high throughput material characterization system is under development at National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory (NSRL), University of Science and Technology of China. It is a multiple light ...

Chiral plasmonic nanostructures possess a chiroptical response orders of magnitude stronger than that of natural biomolecular systems, making them highly promising for a wide range of biochemical, ...
