A groundbreaking study reveals how graphene interfaces can fundamentally alter magnetic behavior in 2D materials. The discovery enables electrical control of magnetic states through charge transfer, opening new possibilities for magnetic memory and computing applications.
A new approach to generating high-power terahertz radiation has been demonstrated at the Shanghai Soft X-ray Free-Electron Laser facility. The method uses optical frequency beating to create programmable electron bunch trains, enabling continuous spectral tuning across a wide frequency range. This breakthrough could advance applications in materials science, communications, and medical imaging.
Researchers have reportedly achieved a significant breakthrough in terahertz radiation generation using precisely tailored electron beams in free-electron lasers, according to a recent publication in Nature Photonics. The experimental work, conducted at the Shanghai Soft X-ray Free-Electron Laser facility, demonstrates continuous spectral coverage from 7.8 to 30.8 THz through innovative electron beam manipulation techniques. Sources indicate this represents the first demonstration of high-power, narrowband THz FEL operation driven by optical frequency beating methods.
