Illustration of Electron LighthouseThe light-controlled electron current could open new paths for sensing, telecommunications, and other advanced technologies. A pair of laser beams can now send electrons through a semiconductor in a chosen direction without any external electrical power. Researchers at the University of Michigan built the device to explore a previously unobserved physical effect and demonstrate that [...]
