New Method Captures Atomic Movements of a Quantum Electronic Device in Operation

For the first time, researchers have used ultrafast electron diffraction (UED), an ultrafast camera for detecting tiny atomic movements, to observe a quantum electronic device as it operates.

Producing Neutron Interferometers from Two Separate Crystals

Particles can move as waves along different paths at the same time – this is one of the most important findings of quantum physics. A particularly impressive example is the neutron interferometer: neutrons are fired at a crystal, the neutron wave is split into two portions, which are then superimposed on each other again.

Exploring the Connection Between the Nucleus and Neutron Stars

How big is an atomic nucleus- How does the size of a nucleus relate to a neutron star- These tantalizing questions in physics were explored in a pair of experiments at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility.
