This is the first measurement of its kind and will enable researchers to evaluate electron dynamics in a new range of super-small particles, valued for their ability to trap and manipulate light.
Researchers observed how electrons, excited by ultrafast light pulses, danced in unison around a particle less than a nanometer in diameter, then emitted excess energy in the form of several electrons.
