Researchers in Germany and the US have used flashes of laser light to follow the motion of valence electrons as they are excited and ejected from atoms of krypton. They say that their technique could ...

RICHLAND, Wash. -- A year before Albert Einstein came up with the special theory of relativity, or E=mc2, physicists predicted the existence of something else: cyclotron radiation. Scientists ...

Scientists have used pulses of laser light measuring mere quintillionths of a second long to probe the motion of an atom's outermost electrons in real time. Their methods promises a broad new way to ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- MIT physicists have developed a new tabletop particle detector that is able to identify single electrons in a radioactive gas. As the gas decays and gives off electrons, the ...

Scientists and engineers have reported the direct detection of cyclotron radiation from individual electrons. They used a specially developed spectroscopic method that allowed them to measure the ...
