Einstein's description of the photoelectric effect, also known as photoionization, laid the theoretical foundation for ...

Here’s a fun video by [Ashish Derhgawen], discussing the photoelectric effect of neon lamps with some simple demonstrations. Orange light makes it light! [Ashish] demonstrates the well-known ...

March 14 is often celebrated at Pi Day, but it's also the birthday of one of our greatest scientists whose work impacts us today.

Albert Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics “for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect” but is best known for his ...

XPS relies on the photoelectric effect, where irradiating a material with X-rays causes the emission of core electrons. The kinetic energy of these emitted electrons is measured, which can be directly ...
