    Precision Electron Steering in Graphene with Ultrashort Laser Pulses

    A breakthrough in homogeneous graphene Researchers at Kiel University have reported a surprising, previously unknown effect in graphene. For the first time, they demonstrated that light pulses can generate electrons at specific, designated locations within a material made from a single element—carbon. Dr. Jan-Philip Joost and Professor Michael Bonitz used computer simulations of small graphene…
