The Interaction of Low-Energy Electrons With Light Reveals Quantum Effects
ICFO researchers lead a theoretical study on the interaction between low-energy electrons and light, showing for the first time the emergence of quantum and recoil effects as a consequence. The results could enhance ultrafast electron microscopy, among other potential applications.

Unveiling How Heat Moves in Materials with Atomic-Scale Resolution
The scientists developed a novel technique to map how the momentum of phonons changes. The map reveals the direction of phonon propagation and thus the direction of heat flow on the nanoscale. This research demonstrates that an abrupt boundary between different materials tends to reflect heat much more efficiently than a gradual, diffuse boundary.
The Quantum Materials Electron Microscopy Centre at the Blusson Quantum Matter Institute Has Commenced Operations
The UBC’s Blusson Quantum Matter Institute recently held the opening ceremony for its Quantum Materials Electron Microscopy Centre (QMEMC). The center aims to advance research and training in the field of quantum science and technology. Completed in May 2024, QMEMC received support totaling CAD 4.9 million from the Government of British Columbia and the Canada Foundation for Innovation.

UBC Blusson QMI Launches New Research and Training Centre
Completed in May 2024, the Quantum Materials Electron Microscopy Centre (QMEMC) was realized by a $4.9 million investment by the Government of British Columbia through the British Columbia Knowledge Development Fund (BCKDF) in 2017. The Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) also supported QMEMC with $4.9 million.

A New Chapter in Quantum Vortices: Customizing Electron Vortex Beams
The authors of this article have created structured electron vortices with non-homogeneous intensity distributions based on the relationship between the local divergence angle and azimuthal phase gradient of electron beams. This breakthrough means that the intensity patterns of electron vortices can be customized according to specific needs, opening new dimensions for the manipulation and application of electron beams.
