A recent research article backed by Cheyney Design and Development, a leader in X-ray inspection and imaging technologies, ...

When light hits a material, electrons can be released from this material -- the photoelectric effect. Although this effect played a major role in the development of the quantum theory, it still ...

Gravity, a crucial piece of the universe, is missing from the quantum Lego set. But while there is still no quantum theory of gravity, the challenge of detecting its signatures now looks a little more ...

What is quantum technology? Quantum technology can process an enormous amount of data and solve complex problems in seconds rather than decades. Remarkably, quantum technology first appeared in the ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When high-energy light hits atoms, it knocks electrons loose. This process ...

Why are these results so interesting? “The photoelectric effect was explained over a century ago by Einstein, laying the foundations for the development of quantum mechanics.

Max Planck really got the ball rolling for quantum physics by introducing the idea of energy coming in tiny packets, or ...

The photoelectric effect involves quantum particles of light (photons) interacting with electrons in atoms, molecules and solids. This can result in the emission of an electron (called a photoelectron ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When high-energy light hits atoms, it knocks electrons loose.
