Electron pulse (blue) probes the structural changes of the indium wire excited by a laser pulse (red). Schema by Andreas Lücke, Paderborn.

Wires just four atoms wide that change from being insulators to electrical conductors when struck by a laser pulse have been studied by researchers from Paderborn and Duisburg. The team has shown that the phase transition can occur as fast as quantum mechanics allows, something that was not previously thought possible. The technique could prove useful, e.g., for ultrafast detectors.
