Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

They found that the electron distribution ballooned in size over a period of 30 fs (see figure). SLAC senior staff scientist Michael Minitti explains, “We’re imaging these electrons as they move and ...

Ultrafast electron dynamics in space and time Date: February 18, 2021 Source: Forschungszentrum Juelich Summary: Often depicted as colorful balloons or clouds, electron orbitals provide ...

The fragmented electron cloud distribution observed in the experiment demonstrates the quantum mechanical wave nature of electrons, as predicted by physics.

When a crystal is hit by an intense ultrashort light pulse, its atomic structure is set in motion. A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ), the Technischen ...

Direct observation of a single electron's butterfly-shaped distribution in titanium oxide A valence electron in titanium oxide has been imaged at a resolution of 0.2 Angstroms using synchrotron X ...
