For the first time, scientists have measured the shape of an electron in solids, opening the door to advances in quantum materials.

Observing the electron results in the so-called “collapse of the wave function”, and it takes on the mutually exclusive properties of a particle or wave. It’s difficult to express in words ...

Figuring out certain aspects of a material's electron structure can take a lot ... Qiu and her team decided to focus on the electrons' wave function, which mathematically describes the quantum ...

For the first time ever, scientists have managed to snap a picture of an electron’s shape while it moves through a solid.

This field affected the wave function, or the wave properties, of each electron that passed through it. Finally, the ...
