Physicists Use Light To Unlock a Crystal's Hidden Electrical Powers
Original: Physicists Use Light To Unlock a Crystal’s Hidden Electrical Powers
Physicists report using light to activate hidden electrical properties in a crystal, a technique that could point to new ways of controlling materials for electronics. Details of which crystal was used and which team led the work were not included in the report, so the scope of the finding remains unclear. The result is drawing attention among materials science and physics readers interested in light-driven control of electrical behavior.
Why now: Light-induced control of a crystal's electrical properties is a notable materials science advance.
