A milestone in petahertz electronics

In a semiconductor, electrons can be excited by absorbing laser light. Advances during the past decade enabled measuring this fundamental physical mechanism on timescales below a femtosecond. Now physicists have resolved the response of electrons in gallium arsenide at the attosecond timescale, and gained unexpected insights for future ultrafast opto-electronic devices with operation frequencies in the petahertz regime.

Researchers develop recyclable, healable electronics

Electronics often get thrown away after use because recycling them requires extensive work for little payoff. Researchers have now found a w...
