A new analysis reveals what happens when very short or narrow electron beams encounter a particle. The research is published in the New Journal of Physics. Scientists should be able to achieve a new ...

Physicists have proposed a way to extract the internal quantum states of electron wave packets by analyzing how those packets scatter off atoms. The approach, grounded in theoretical derivations ...

Resonance phenomena in electron–atom interactions arise when an incoming electron temporarily binds to an atom or molecule, forming a metastable state before eventual decay. These transient states ...

Working on the nanoscale for manufacturing poses some unique challenges. While many macroscale manufacturing methods such as lithography and additive manufacturing have been successfully translated ...

Discover the foundational components of an atom: protons, neutrons, and electrons. This video delves into the traditional atom model and reveals its inaccuracies, particularly regarding electron ...
