CAN AN ELECTRON BE IN TWO PLACES AT THE SAME TIME?,
October 11 Max Planck Researchers in Berlin show that for electrons
from nitrogen molecules, the wave-particle character exists simultaneously.
In something akin to a double-slit experiment, scientists at the Fritz Haber
Institute of the Max Planck Society, in co-operation with researchers from
the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California, have shown
for the first time that electrons have characteristics of both waves and
particles at the same time and in virtually the push of a button can be
switched back and forth between these states.
