I took a deep dive into the photoelectric effect — where light hits a surface and kicks electrons out. It’s simple, ...

Quantum technology will disrupt the Bitcoin network. Here’s how quantum computers affect crypto and what you can do about it.

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When ...

Millikan's experiments did not bring about the acceptance of light quanta. In this period (1913–1923), there was simply no convincing explanation of the photoelectric effect.

How could it be made up of particles? Even after Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his theory of the photoelectric effect, debate continued among physicists. The effect suggested that ...

But while there is still no quantum theory of gravity, the challenge of detecting its signatures now looks a little more manageable thanks to a proposed experiment that takes inspiration from the ...

The principle behind their experiment parallels that of the photoelectric effect, in which light shining on a material causes it to emit discrete packets of energy, one particle at a time, rather than ...

In the last decade, researchers have used attosecond pulses to study the photoelectric effect at shorter and shorter timescales. The resulting advances could open the door to controlling matter at ...

Synergistic photoelectric and thermal effect for efficient nitrate reduction on plasmonic Cu photocathodes Peer-Reviewed Publication Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy Sciences ...

Researchers at SLAC have made groundbreaking strides in understanding the photoelectric effect, initially described by Einstein. They've developed a technique using attosecond X-ray pulses to measure ...

Photons in kilovolt (kV) X-ray dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) interact with matter mainly by photoelectric effect and Compton scatter. Any material's mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) ...
