Excitons are excited particles that form when negatively charged electrons bind to positively charged holes
Researchers have now used cutting-edge technology to capture the first ever image of the electron inside of an exciton
The technique uses extreme ultraviolet light to break excitons apart and kick the electrons into the vacuum of an electron microscope
By measuring the angle at which the electrons are ejected from the material, the research team determined how the electrons and holes orbit each other in an exciton

In a world-first, researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have captured an image showing the internal orbits, or spatial distribution, of particles in an exciton – a goal that had eluded scientists for almost a century.

Danone’s high protein snack brand YoPRO has launched its Tokyo Olympic campaign ‘Every Millimetre Matters’ via independent creative agency Emotive, which features Ash Barty, Kyle Chalmers and Brandon Starc.
The latest campaign under the ‘Fuel Your Journey’ brand platform focuses on the idea that no matter how long the journey, every millimetre matters.
While their journeys to Tokyo have been extra long for our Aussie athletes, the difference between success and failure can come down to the smallest margin. That’s why every millimetre matters. Millimeters made up of years of good habits. Every shot, point, game, jump, rep, triumph, miss, lap, day and choice they’ve made along the way. Including getting the right nutrition – like YoPRO, with high protein and no added sugar to fuel their journey.
Then and now: uMhlanga Beachfront

Durban - The picture of old Durban this week takes in the beach promenade at uMhlanga Rocks, with the old picture a postcard shot in the mid 1970s soon after the Cabana Beach Hotel was opened in 1974.
The town was founded by Sir Marshall Campbell in 1895 as a holiday resort for mill workers. As early as 1863, Campbellâs son, Alfred, built a cottage named Oyster Lodge out of Burmese teak and corrugated iron. The roof was painted white to serve as a navigational beacon. This is now the site of the Oyster Box Hotel which, while not visible in the old picture, its red awnings can just be seen at the far end of the promenade in Shelley Kjonstadâs picture taken last week.
