That’s because, as far as we know, electrons are fundamental particles. In other words, they have no smaller components. That ...

Astrophysicists have detected the most energetic electrons ever recorded raining down on Earth. With trillions of times the ...

I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. Most of the coverage of this adopts the framing of talking about this as measuring the "shape" of the electron, something that's been ...

It's a paper that's been more than four decades in the making. Published in Physical Review Accelerators and Beams, a study ...

In a recent article, researchers analyzed electron-cloud alignment in atomic argon induced by intense XFEL pulses. The study ...

A team of researchers has successfully demonstrated nonlinear Compton scattering (NCS) between an ultra-relativistic electron ...
