Plain silicon grating reveals a hidden 'twist' in light from electron beams

In 1953, two physicists showed that an electron beam skimming past a grating emits light whose color depends only on the electron's speed and the grating's spacing. Known as Smith-Purcell radiation, this phenomenon has become ...
