Light-controlled electron gas hints at future of ultra-fast electronics

In the future, could our mobile phones and internet data operate using light rather than just electricity? Now, for the first time, an international research team led by CNRS researchers working at ...

Floating electrons on a sea of helium

Recently, one of those companies published a paper that describes the physics of their qubit system, which involves lone electrons floating on top of liquid helium. So how do you get an electron to ...
