For the first time, scientists have successfully mapped the shape of an electron while it moves through a solid. This ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Tohoku University and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency have developed fundamental experiments and theories to manipulate the geometry of the 'electron universe,' which ...

It was another good week for physics as a team at the University of Basel announced that they had determined the geometry of an electron for the first time—another necessary step in the development of ...
