For the first time ever, scientists have recorded video of a single electron - see wave/particle duality with your own eyes! (kind of)

It uses the spin of an electron to store data. No idea how... picked by coldbladed 4 months ago

Gaps in the soup of high-energy particles near the orbits of two of Saturn’s tiny moons indicate that Saturn may be surrounded by undiscovered, near-invisible partial rings. A paper in the February issue of the journal Icarus suggests that the larger saturnian moons may not be the only ones contributing material to Saturn's ring system. picked by AutumnLotus 5 months ago

Newfound glowing spots on Jupiter seem unexpectedly to come from electron beams whipping around the giant planet's volcanic moon Io. Io is the most volcanic body in the solar system, with its entire surface likely made up of lava from the moon's hundreds of volcanoes. picked by AutumnLotus 4 months ago

At 99.997% of the speed of light, these waves generate electrical fields of billions of electron volts in just a few meters. This means that table-top particle accelerators might be possible, which in turn offers the promise that R&D and medical applications of accelerators (which at present are miles long) might be more readily available. picked by Fanatic 2 years ago
