Electrons Counter-Intuitive Movement
https://www.electronics-lab.com/electrons-counter-intuitive-movement/
Our ‘common sense’ would say that when an object moves from point A to point B it necessarily has to also move through all the points between A and B. This is, however, not true for electrons in the quantum world, where these intuitive truths are not valid. Electrons can, for example appear on the […]
