MIT Physicists Find a Way To See Inside Atoms That May Aid Search For Antimatter

“Traditionally, exploring the interior of atomic nuclei requires enormous particle accelerators that stretch for kilometers and propel beams of electrons at extremely high speeds,” writes SciTechDaily.

But MIT physicists have unveiled a groundbreaking alternative that “used the atom’s own electrons as probes to momentarily enter the nucleus…”

In research published in Science, a team of MIT physicists achieved exceptionally precise measurements of the energy of electrons…
