Hanging around: this image shows where an electron is most likely to be found in an exciton. Yellow indicates high probability and blue low probability. The hole is located at the centre of the ...

After nearly a century of probing the nature of tiny, ephemeral objects called excitons, researchers finally managed to image the structure, hinting at the true location of an electron. The findings ...

In movies, people phase through walls like ghosts — think Vision from "Avengers" or Harry Potter going through Platform 9¾. It looks effortless. But in the real world, trying that trick would just ...
