Read moreWenn Elektronen die Energie zum ueberwinden einer Energiebarriere nicht haben, "tunneln" sie einfach durch diese Barriere hindurch. Forscher koennen den Zeitpunkt des Austritts aus der Barriere zum ersten Mal exakt bestimmen und schlussfolgern daraus: Die Zeit, die das Elektron fuer das Tunneln braucht, ist gleich Null.
