The structure, dynamics, and functions of materials are predominantly determined by their constituent electrons. Owing to their quantum nature, electrons have “wave”-like characteristics. However, measuring the phase of an electron and its complex electron wavefunction is challenging. Using state-of-the-art attosecond technology, researchers at Waseda University and National Research Council of Canada have now successfully recorded…
Standing three steps apart on an escalator significantly reduces the risk of COVID-19 infection while it is safer to descend than ascend one, recent research by a team involving the Kyoto Institute of Technology showed. The team lined up 10 maskless men, each 175 centimeters tall, on an escalator and…
Proper or lucky positioning on crowded escalators can help people significantly lower the risk of novel coronavirus infections caused by coughing maskless individuals, a study showed.
