Electron refrigerator: Ultrafast cooling mechanism discovered in novel plasma
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in category: innovation
Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence “CUI: Advanced Imaging of Matter” have achieved a breakthrough—creating a completely new type of plasma by combining state-of-the-art technologies using ultrashort laser pulses and ultracold atomic gases. They report on a novel electron cooling mechanism occurring in such plasmas in the journal Nature Communications.
