In a first-of-its-kind image, researchers were able to capture the clear moment when individual atoms begin to act like "wave packets", their results shown in a pre-print paper that has yet to ...

Interaction energies of an offset Li atom inside the C N fullerenes (N = 20, 28, 32, 36, 44, 50, 60, 80, and 120) with respect to the radial offset distance η from the center of the fullerenes. Image ...

This work shows that the size of the neutrino wavepacket must be larger than 6.2 trillionths of a meter, or about 5% the size of a typical atom, using the high-resolution measurement of the recoil ...
