Microscope capturing quantum particles in motion

Upgraded stroboSCAT microscope captures motion of individual quantum particles

Audio narration · Coming soon

This announcement marks the first time the stroboSCAT microscope has been upgraded to observe individual quantum particles and quasiparticles in motion. Columbia chemist Milan Delor uses this instrument to study how different forms of energy flow through materials at the quantum level. The microscope employs strobe-like light pulses to capture these particles as they move.
