US scientists reveal secrets of electrons behavior, could help explore microscopic world deeper

SMRTR summary

US scientists used attosecond X-ray pulses to study electron behavior and discovered that electrons take almost twice as long to be emitted from atoms after absorbing X-rays than traditional theories predicted. The unexpected delay results from complex electron-electron interactions within atoms, challenging existing models and potentially advancing quantum physics, materials science, and nanotechnology.
