Description:
Article Helium is an atom of great scientific interest, yet much debate exists surrounding the shape its molecules form. Here Voigtsberger et al. present experimental results imaging the wavefuction of 4 He 3 and 3 He 4 He 2 trimer systems, which suggest that 4 He 3 is a random cloud while 3 He 4 He 2 is a quantum halo state.
