Scientists later explored various methods to generate electron vortices, such as holographic masks, magnetic lens aberrations, and magnetic needles. These techniques not only produce electron beams ...

In search of the electron orbital. ... The area that could contain the electron is called the orbital. Although it has been possible to calculate the shape of these orbitals for a long time, ...

What shape is an electron? The answer, believe it or not, has implications for our understanding of the entire universe, and could reveal whether there are mysterious particles still to be discovered.

A valence electron in titanium oxide has been imaged at a resolution of 0.2 Angstroms using synchrotron X-ray diffraction and a new Fourier synthesis method that can determine the orbital states ...

Additional variations in the shape of photonic orbitals could also create properties not achievable in electronic materials. Boring electrons, exciting photons The comparatively “boring” behaviour of ...

Indeed, he looks forward to the production of a variety of differently-shaped electron wavefronts, comparing the waves generated in the current work to the corkscrew-shaped fusilli pasta. “Just as ...

The electron, against predictions, appears to be perfectly round, raising questions about one of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. An electron's shape refers to that of the cloud of ...

The ACME experiment has released new result showing the "roundness" of the electron, which are touted as a test of fundamental physics theories. How does that work, anyway?

Although the shape of the electron could have an important bearing on the future theories of particle physics, Dr Hudson's main motivation is simply curiosity. "We really should know what the ...
