On New York's Long Island, scientists are building an ambitious machine to tease apart the mysteries held inside atomic nuclei. A major component of that system is the world's highest voltage electron ...

Wang proposed the electron gun as a research and development project back in 2017 and has been spearheading its design, engineering, assembly, and testing ever since. Much of the work and all the ...

Brookhaven National Laboratory physicist Erdong Wang in a basement lab at Stony Brook University (SBU) with the high-voltage polarized electron gun that will put the "e" — or electrons — in the future ...

Polarized electron gun: The cone-shaped high-voltage (HV) feedthrough connector delivers current to gun. When laser photons strike the gallium-arsenide (GaAs) photocathode, emitted electrons flow from ...
