Quantum tornado in the electron beam: Manipulating materials with rotating quantum particles

Thursday, September 16, 2010 - 09:14 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers have succeeded in producing what are known as electron vortex beams: rotating electron beams, which make it possible to investigate the magnetic properties of materials. In the future, it may even be possible to manipulate the tiniest components in a targeted manner and set them in rotation.
