In the future, could our mobile phones and internet data operate using light rather than just electricity? Now, for the first time, an international research team led by CNRS researchers working at the Albert Fert Laboratory (Laboratoire Albert Fert; CNRS/Thales) has discovered how to generate an electron gas found in LED screens, by illuminating a material made up of layers of oxides.
