Or, put slightly differently, until it is observed an electron must be regarded as being "at once everywhere and nowhere."

The researchers found that interactions among many electrons were not required to explain the behavior observed in their sample.

In particular, the material seemed to have a single energy gap, a key characteristic that reflects how electrons pair together so they can move without electrical resistance.

Fundamental particles such as electrons are instead described by a "wavefunction," a mathematical representation that researchers can use to calculate the probabilities of properties such as position and momentum.

Under ordinary conditions, electrons are distributed relatively evenly throughout erbium tritelluride.

The electromagnetic attraction between negatively charged electrons and positively charged protons in the nucleus causes the electrons to orbit the nucleus of the atom, just as gravitational attraction causes the earth to orbit the sun.
