Six ORNL scientists have been elected as fellows to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS.
![Light moves through a fiber and stimulates the metal electrons in nanotip into collective oscillations called surface plasmons, assisting electrons to leave the tip. This simple electron nano-gun can be made more versatile via different forms of material composition and structuring.
