Unique Rapid-Fire Electron Source Could Help Scientists Study Ultrafast Chemical Processes at Atomic Scale

A unique rapid-fire electron source—originally built as a prototype for driving next-generation X-ray lasers—will help scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) study ultrafast chemical processes and changes in materials at the atomic scale. This could provide new insight in how to make materials with custom, controllable properties and improve the efficiency and output of chemical reactions.

Scientists Study Ways for Controlling Electron Spins

Isaac Asimov once stated that the most exciting phrase in science is “That’s funny…” and not “Eureka”. A “that’s funny” moment in a Colorado State University (CSU) physics lab has resulted in a fundamental discovery that is capable of playing a vital role in next-generation microelectronics.

Central 2000 Light Years within Milky Way Galaxy Reveal Ancient Population of Stars

An international team of astronomers led by Dr. Andrea Kunder of the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) in Germany has discovered that the central 2000 light years within the Milky Way Galaxy hosts an ancient population of stars. These stars are more than 10 billion years old and their orbits in space preserve the early history of the formation of the Milky Way.

Stockholm University Researchers Get Closer to Corner Light Dark-Matter Particle Models

Researches at Stockholm University are getting closer to corner light dark-matter particle models. Observations can rule out some axion-like particles in the quest for the content of dark matter. The article is now published in the Physical Review Letters.

Researchers Building Quantum Harmonic Oscillator to Understand Discrete Description of Spacetime

Our experience of space-time is that of a continuous object, without gaps or discontinuities, just as it is described by classical physics. For some quantum gravity models however, the texture of space-time is "granular" at tiny scales (below the so-called Planck scale, 10-33 cm), as if it were a variable mesh of solids and voids (or a complex foam). One of the great problems of physics today is to understand the passage from a continuous to a discrete description of spacetime: is there an abrupt change or is there gradual transition? Where does the change occur?

Munich Physicists Develop New Technique for Controlling Ultrafast Electron Pulses

With the aid of terahertz radiation, Munich physicists have developed a method for generating and controlling ultrashort electron pulses. With further improvements, this technique should be capable of capturing even electrons in motion.
