Record-setting electron beam: Five times more powerful than predecessors

Scientists Just Found a Mind-Bending Way to Control Electrons

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new technique to better understand how electrons interact within materials. By using a moiré material — created by twisting ultra-thin atomic layers — they generated an artificial crystal lattice in a nearby semiconductor, allowing for more precise studies of electron behavior. Scientists have devised a method to create [...]

Record-setting electron beam: Five times more powerful than predecessors

Scientists have created an ultrashort electron beam with five times more peak current than any other similar beam on Earth.

Record Smashing Electron Beam Delivers a Petawatt of Power in an Instant

Physicists at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in the US have shattered the record for most powerful beam of electrons, cramming an ultra-high current of around 100,000 amps into an instant.

Thanks to a new laser technology, an electron beam with five times more current than ever has been produced. The method combines electrons with extreme precision and minimizes continuous energy losses. (Continue reading)
