Shining light on low-energy electrons
The classic method for studying how electrons interact with matter is by analyzing their scattering through thin layers of a known substance. This happens by directing a stream of electrons at the layer and analyzing the subsequent deviations in the electrons' trajectories. Researchers have now devised a way to examine the movement of low-energy electrons that can adversely impact electronic systems and biological tissue.
