Because varying the focus induces phase shifts into the electron wave field, this technique has similarities to interferometry. On the basis of this image series, the EPWF can be calculated using ...

Scientists have come a step closer to understanding how collisionless shock waves—found throughout the universe—are able to ...

Scientists use the Summit supercomputer to simulate a solution to runaway electrons in fusion reactors, paving the way for ...

How? Well, if we take quantum mechanics seriously and look at the electron as a wave, it becomes possible to cross the barrier. In 1926, a man by the name of [Erwin Schrödinger] published a paper ...

To describe the wave aspect of electrons, physicists use wave functions ... Determining some aspects of the messy quantum ...

Topological quantum computers a step closer with a new method to 'split' electrons. Electrons, once thought to be indivisible ...

Some thought the rays were a wave traveling through a mysterious ... of everything from computers to phones to microwaves, the electron turned out to be interesting to just about everybody.

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

A groundbreaking technique using time-resolved electron microscopy and multi-polarization lasers has allowed scientists to ...
