Over the past decade, researchers have become good at creating devices that emit single ...

Dirac electrons were predicted by P. Dirac and discovered by A. Geim, both of whom were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933 and in 2010, respectively. Dirac electrons behave like photons rather ...

If you think “instantaneous” happens in a second, you should meet Haiwang Yong. An assistant professor of chemistry at the ...

To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to ...

The LEEMONS project is researching nanostructured silicon that uses low-energy electron multiplication (LEEM) to allow one high-energy photon to generate multiple electrons, reducing energy losses in ...

A method to make quantum dots lets them release single photons. The approach could support quantum communication systems.

Within our comfortable world of causality we expect that reactions always follow an action and not vice versa. This why the recent chatter in the media about researchers having discovered ‘negative ...

LEMONT, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new set of electron beam measurements puts the upgraded Advanced Photon Source (APS) at the top of the list of the world’s synchrotron X-ray research facilities. The ...

Controlled generation of single-photon emitters in silicon (red) by broad-beam implantation of ions (blue) through a lithographically defined mask (left) and by a scanned focused ion beam (right).
