This intuition, which gave Einstein the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921, marked the beginning of quantum physics and also of photoelectric spectroscopy, one of the most active fields in modern science and technology. Owing to recent technical progress and in particular to the development of third generation synchrotron sources &#8211; particle accelerators in which electrons traveling at nearly the speed of light generate the most brilliant light available to scientists &#8211; the last decade witnessed a renaissance in this technique and its applications. These have now become the primary tools in the study of emerging <i>Quantum Materials<\/i>, systems which manifest a wide range of astonishing electronic and magnetic phenomena and with the potential to revolutionize consumer electronics, telecommunications, next-generation computing, alternative energy, and medicine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Caf\u00e9 Scientifiquers, our next caf\u00e9 will happen on Tuesday November 26th, 7:30pm at The Railway Club.
