High-speed electron camera discovers new ‘light-distorting’ behavior in ultra-thin material

Snapshot taken by SLAC’s High Speed ​​Electron Camera, an ultrashort electron diffraction (MeV-UED) instrument, showing evidence of circular polarization of terahertz light through an ultrathin sample of tungsten ditelluride.
