AN ATOM’S electrons are an ever-shifting quantum melee, but it turns out you can still take their photograph as if they were standing still. A quantum-style microscope has imaged the hydrogen atom’s ...

Laguerre polynomials famously describe the radial part of the solution of the Schrödinger equation for hydrogen-like atoms. In 1926, Erwin Schrödinger (right, with Werner Heisenberg and Paul Dirac, ...
