2021-10-13: New Results in Quantum Tunneling vs. The Speed of Light
- 02:22: In radioactive decay, particles that should never have enough energy to escape the nucleus are found to leak out.
- 03:55: We see tunneling everywhere, in radioactive decay of course, but this tunneling also drives many other important processes.
