Revisiting the Einstein-de Haas experiment: the Ampère Museum's hidden treasure
- Details
- Published on 13 March 2024
One of France's oldest science museums, the Musée Ampère, has just revealed a treasure trove hidden away in its reserves: the only complete and authentic version of the Einstein-de Haas experiment, a rare experimental work published by Albert Einstein himself. This extraordinary discovery, the fruit of research by Alfonso San Miguel, researcher at the Institut Lumière Matière - iLM (Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 / CNRS), in association with Bernard Pallandre, the museum's volunteer curator, is detailed in a forthcoming article in Europhysics News.

Zurich Instruments releases two new microwave lock-in amplifiers
- Details
- Published on 13 September 2022
Zurich Instruments' new GHFLI and SHFLI bring the advantages of lock-in detection – noise rejection, phase sensitivity, frequency tracking and more – to the GHz range. With measurement frequencies up to 1.8 and 8.5 GHz, respectively, these two trailblazing instruments target applications such as RF MEMS and NEMS characterization and control, spin qubits, ultrafast laser spectroscopy, spintronics, electronic devices failure analysis. Each instrument offers 2 independent lock-in channels and combines them with a full microwave measurement suite that includes an Oscilloscope, Spectrum Analyzer, Parametric Sweeper and more, reducing complexity for scientists and engineers.
