Interesting, but why the hell is the Air Force spending money on this research?

Ok here’s one for the scientists here...

if an electron can only occupy certain valence shells within an atom, and ‘jumps’ from one quantum level to another, then what happens to an electron freed from an atom?

is it able to move without dissapearing at one place and reappearing at the next?

or does it become more of a wave when traveling? (wave/particle dual nature)

Damn, no picture at site. Willing to bet that sucker was hauling. Probably was just a pic of the aftereffect on the atom.

The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts human life a little above the level of farce, and gives it some of the grace of tragedy.

"These new tools will let us probe electron dynamics in materials and semiconductors and could help us understand and reduce electron loss processes to make electronics and devices like solar cells more efficient and to bring electronic data processing to its highest level." "

Hmmm! I think that the thing I miss least, since retiring from the profession many years ago, is the need to write and speak this kind of "blah blah blah" nonsense at every budget or grant cycle.
