Researchers at the University of Konstanz have successfully transformed single electrons into spiraling waves of mass and charge using a laser, a groundbreaking achievement in manipulating quantum particles. This innovation allows electrons to exhibit chirality, a property akin to handedness observed in molecules and materials, where they can be either left or right-handed. The process involved generating fast electron pulses and exposing them to a laser beam shaped into a swirling vortex of light, which imparted a corresponding electromagnetic field affecting the electrons' wave functions. The team, led by Peter Baum, precisely controlled the manipulation of these chiral electron coils, demonstrating their potential applications in fields such as imaging and material control. Ben McMorran from the University of Oregon, who has also worked on similar experiments, praised the study as a significant advancement in electron manipulation technology. The researchers observed that these chiral electron coils interact differently with nanostructures depending on their handedness, suggesting future applications in selectively influencing the properties of chemical compounds and electronic devices. Baum and his colleagues are now exploring whether such chiral electrons could naturally occur beyond the lab setting, opening new avenues for understanding fundamental quantum phenomena. Their findings, published in *Science*, mark a crucial step towards harnessing the unique properties of electrons for innovative technological applications. Source: NewScientist, 11 July 2024

"In electronic technologies, key material properties change in response to stimuli like voltage or current. Scientists aim to understand these changes in terms of the material's structure at the nanoscale (a few atoms) and microscale (the thickness of a piece of paper). Often neglected is the realm between the mesoscale—spanning 10 billionths to 1 millionth of a meter. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, in collaboration with Rice University and DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, have made significant strides in understanding the mesoscale properties of a ferroelectric material under an electric field. The research is?published?in the journal?Science." #materialscience
