A new article presents a theoretical analysis of electron spins in moving semiconductor quantum dots, showing how these can be controlled by electric fields in a way that suggests they may be usable ...

Researchers in the Netherlands have shown that it is possible to control the spin of a single electron by using an electric field rather than a magnetic field, as is usually the case. The breakthrough ...

Electricity powers our lives, including our cars, phones, computers, and more, through the movement of electrons within a ...

Physicists have found a way to reverse electron spins using electric fields for the first time, paving the way for programmable spintronics technologies. Spintronics is a field of physics that studies ...

Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes (GM-APDs) are highly sensitive light detectors, capable of detecting single photons.

Active energy compression in laser-plasma electron beams at DESY's LUX facility reduces energy spread and jitter, paving the ...

As the Parker Solar Probe ventures closer to the sun, we are learning new things about our home star. In a new study, physicists led by the University of Iowa report the first definitive measurements ...

The researchers first developed a system to automate the control and tuning of the device during data acquisition, significantly speeding up the imaging process to a speed of 10,000 images over 8.5 ...
