Ionization of water molecules by light generates free electrons in liquid water. After generation, the so-called solvated electron is formed, a localized electron surrounded by a shell of water ...

(Nanowerk News) Imagine standing by a lake and throwing a stone into the water. Waves spread out in circular patterns and can reflect at obstacles and boundaries. Researchers at the University of ...

Over eighty years ago, Rabi oscillations were proposed to describe the strong coupling and population transfer in a two-level quantum system exposed to an oscillatory driving field. As compared to ...

Researchers demonstrate a previously unknown effect of electron acceleration in ultrashort laser pulses. (Nanowerk News) Scientists from the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) and ...

A previously unknown quantum particle — equivalent to a neutral electron — may have been found in a new state of matter. The chargeless oddball wouldn't be one of the fundamental building blocks of ...

Where did all the matter in the universe come from? This is one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics, and exciting results released from the international T2K neutrino experiment in Japan ...

When an intense laser pulse hits a stationary electron, it performs a trembling motion at the frequency of the light field. However, this motion dies down after the pulse, and the electron comes to ...
