a phenomenon attributed to quantum tunneling. Using their quantum-gas microscope, the researchers verified that the strontium gas was a superfluid—a quantum phase of matter that moves without ...

IBM’s Scanning Tunneling Microscope, or STM for short ... or the diameter of a large atom. Quantum Mechanics is a strange world, indeed. Everyday things that we take for granted, things like ...

In a discovery that brings a legendary quantum theory to life ... To observe this rare behavior, the scientists used a ...

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is an experimental technique based on the principles of quantum tunneling of electrons between two electrodes separated by a potential barrier, typically used for ...

Transmission electron microscope image and film stack of a magnetic tunnel ... The key phenomenon that enables the operation of tunnel junctions is quantum tunneling. In classical physics, an electron ...

Quantum tunneling effects are exploited in various nanoelectronic devices, such as resonant tunneling diodes and scanning tunneling microscopes. Resonant tunneling diodes utilize the quantum tunneling ...

In quantum experiments, they sent light-pulses through the equivalent of a tunnel – but like Tony Soprano's puzzling drive, the pulses apparently spent less than zero time travelling through.

Particles tunnel through solid matter and hop out the other side, while atoms tick like tiny pendulums quadrillions of times per second. Just as microscopes paved the way for antibiotics and modern ...
