Determining some aspects of the messy quantum geometry of an electron in a solid has previously involved a lot of guesswork ...

MIT physicists and colleagues have for the first time measured the geometry, or shape, of electrons in solids at the quantum level. Scientists have long known how to measure the energies and ...

This ultimately allowed them to develop their new approach for measuring QGT in solids, which they called ... thus offering insights about their underlying geometry. While this mathematical ...
