Ever since quantum mechanics first described particles, like electrons, as rippling waves, researchers have wondered if those ...

Columbia University researchers report the first observation of electron waves trapped in place inside a two-dimensional ...

The early 20 th century saw the advent of quantum mechanics to describe the properties of small particles, such as electrons or atoms. Schrödinger's equation in quantum mechanics can successfully ...

This article explains science and cutting-edge technology in an easy-to-understand way through a dialogue between Dr. Hakase ...

Scientists at Columbia University have found that electron waves can remain trapped near atomic defects in a metal, despite the availability of pathways for them to escape. The findings confirm ...

A new analysis reveals what happens when very short or narrow electron beams encounter a particle. The research is published in the New Journal of Physics. Scientists should be able to achieve a new ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — New research by physicists from Brown University puts the profound strangeness of quantum mechanics in a nutshell — or, more accurately, in a helium bubble.

This is an electron wave quantum hologram displaying the initials "SU" of Stanford University. The yellow area is a copper surface. The holes in the copper are molecules of carbon monoxide. Constantly ...

A new technique that combines electron microscopy and laser technology enables programmable, arbitrary shaping of electron beams. It can potentially be used for optimizing electron optics and for ...

What happens to the electrons after they are sent out from the electron gun?In Chapter 2, we looked at the mechanism for ...
