Structured electrons with chiral mass and charge - EurekAlert


Physicists in Konstanz (Germany) have discovered a way to imprint a previously unseen geometrical form of chirality onto electrons. The electrons are shaped into chiral coils of mass and charge. Such engineered elementary particles may open new research avenues in fundamental physics and electron microscopy.
