Scientists at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have performed a controlled collision of single electrons in an IC. This reveals the information needed to create single–electron devices for quantum sensing and information processing. The experiment, described in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, examines the interaction between pairs of flying electrons as they meet in a miniature …
