The best measurement yet of the lifetime of the electron suggests that a particle present today will probably still be around in 66,000 yottayears (6.6 × 10 28 yr), which is about five-quintillion ...

Electrons have been seen uniting into entities with fractions of electric charge, this time without a magnetic field coaxing them into it. In the 127 years since the electron was discovered, it has ...

Nothing is more emblematic of an electron than its negative charge. It’s the trait that determines how the particle behaves in electromagnetic environments, such as a wire’s electric field and ...

MIT physicist 'Riccardo Comin' successfully mapped an electron’s shape in motion, unlocking breakthroughs in quantum physics, superconductors, and quantum computing.
