Scientists carefully positioned lasers to compress billions of electrons together, creating a beam five times more powerful ...

Physicists at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have generated the highest-current, highest-peak-power electron beams, achieving 100 kiloamps for one quadrillionth of a second.

So why do so many life-forms breathe oxygen? There are probably thousands of kinds of metabolisms, or chemical processes that ...

However, people quickly realized that electric current was in fact made of moving electrons. Since electricity is the lifeblood of everything from computers to phones to microwaves, the electron ...

Measuring shot noise without external influences is not easy. In a metal, the vibration of the atoms’ lattice can push ...

A team of physicists at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, in Menlo Park, California, generated the highest-current, ...
