Our ability to image the subnuclear region is limited not only by resolution but also by speed: the constituent particles that make up atoms and fly freely around them could, in theory, travel close to the speed of light. In reality, electrons often move much slower, but even those slower speeds are too fast for our eyes and technology to capture. This has made it difficult to observe their behavior, but now new microscopic imaging techniques are allowing scientists to capture electrons' movements in real time. This is the work of a team of physicists at the University of Arizona…
