Electron bunches can be made in the strangest of shapes Researchers in Australia have developed a new source of cold electrons that could be useful for imaging tiny structures at atomic-length scales.

For the first time, scientists have successfully mapped the shape of an electron while it moves through a solid. This groundbreaking discovery in quantum physics, led by MIT physicist Riccardo Comin ...

Researchers at Northwestern, Harvard and Yale universities have conducted a new study to examine the shape of an electron's charge, and have confirmed that - with unprecedented precision - it is ...

What is the shape of an electron? If you recall pictures from your high school science books, the answer seems quite clear: an electron is a small ball of negative charge that is smaller than an atom.

WHAT shape is an electron? The standard model of particle physics predicts that electrons are egg-shaped, but that the amount of distortion from a perfect sphere is so tiny that no existing experiment ...

The electron, against predictions, appears to be perfectly round, raising questions about one of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. An electron's shape refers to that of the cloud of ...
