About this episode
Interesting Things with JC #1687: "Can Quantum Tunneling be Observed?" – Electrons pass through barriers they do not have enough energy to cross, and instruments built around that effect can map individual atoms. The same process continues inside radioactive atoms, semiconductor devices, and the Sun, where particles keep appearing beyond barriers that classical physics says should stop them.
