Scientists Generate the Fastest Electric Current Ever Measured Inside a Solid Material
Using ultrafast laser flashes, physicists from the Max Planck Institute have generated the fastest electric current that has ever been measured inside a solid material….
Researchers Develop A Universal Quantum Gate
Scientists have now developed a universal quantum gate, which could become the key component in a quantum computer. Light particles completely ignore each other. In…
Physicists Test the Response Time of Electrons
Researchers from the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics generated for the first time visible flashes of light in attosecond dimensions. They dispatched the light-flashes to electrons…
