Upper limit on electron scattering observed
The so-called Planckian limit on scattering of charge carriers is experimentally confirmed in a high-temperature superconductor.
How growing cells process physical information
Cells grow and move. In cancer, the growth of one cell type over another is a key hallmark of the disease. But how do cells actually process information on local physical stresses, like pressure?
A roadmap for ultrafast spectroscopy
Researchers from the Department have led and contributed to the 2021 Roadmap for Ultrafast Spectroscopy, highlighting trends and opportunities in the science of probing electron and atom motion on the shortest timescales feasible.
