These beams consist of electrons that gain energy and accelerate to high velocities, often exceeding the speed of light in a vacuum, under specific conditions such as strong electric fields or ...

Multiferroic materials, in which electric and magnetic properties are combined in promising ways, will be the heart of new ...

"When the electron beam passes through [this plasma], it repels the lighter electrons from this background gas but the ions, which are heavy, move more slowly and are left behind." This wide-field ...
