"Unveiling Graphene's Electron Behavior: Ultrafast Laser Mapping Paves the Way for Advanced Electronics"
Researchers at the University of Kansas' Ultrafast Laser Lab have observed the ballistic movement of electrons in graphene, a promising material for next-generation electronic devices. By using ultrafast lasers, the researchers were able to trace the movement of electrons in real-time, revealing that electrons in graphene can move ballistically, similar to cars on a freeway or ballistic missiles through the air. This discovery could lead to breakthroughs in governing electrons in semiconductors, potentially resulting in faster, more powerful, and more energy-efficient electronic devices.
