Scientists discover quantum interference traps electrons in metal

Columbia University researchers find electron waves trapped near atomic defects in a metal, providing experimental evidence of a quantum phenomenon.
Scientists at Columbia University have found that electron waves can remain trapped near atomic defects in a metal, despite the availability of pathways for them to escape. The findings confirm experimentally that quantum interference can confine ele... [1792 chars]
