Although the difference was a mere 0. 3 nanometres, about the width of three helium atoms,
or ionized, from its orbit around a helium atom. Like all subatomic particles, electrons occupy a realm governed by quantum mechanics.
By firing two time-delayed, ultrashort laser pulses at a helium atom, the researchers found that the distribution of momentum values for these intersecting electron waves can take the form of a two-armed vortex that resembles a spiral galaxy.
Inserting helium atoms (visualized as a red balloon) into a crystalline film (gold) allowed Oak ridge National Laboratory researchers to control the material's elongation in a single direction.
