Quantum tunneling is not new to physicists. It forms the basis of many modern technologies such as electronic chips, called tunnel diodes, which allow for the movement of electricity through a ...

Scientists have succeeded in unraveling the mystery of the ‘electron tunneling’ process for the first time. The feat, a core ...

Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a ...

POSTECH, MPK, and Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics have revealed the hidden dynamics of electrons during quantum ...

Quantum tunnelling (or tunneling) is the quantum-mechanical effect of transitioning through a classically-forbidden energy state. Consider rolling a ball up a hill. If the ball is not given enough ...

Precisely measuring the exact time that an electron spends inside a quantum tunneling barrier during strong-field ionization has so far proved challenging. In recent years, physicists have ...

Particles like electrons can sometimes pass through energy barriers they wouldn’t normally be able to cross, in a process known as quantum tunneling.This mysterious behavior is the key to ...

The strange phenomenon of quantum tunneling has been observed in a chemical reaction that defies classical physics. Skip to main content. Scientific American. April 4, 2023. 4 min read.

Quantum mechanical effects such as radioactive decay, or more generally: 'tunneling', display intriguing mathematical patterns. Two researchers at the University of Amsterdam now show that a 40 ...

Quantum tunnelling, a quintessential quantum mechanical phenomenon, allows particles to penetrate energy barriers that they classically should not overcome. In chemical reactions, this effect is ...
