quantum tunneling
Type: Concept
As of November 2026, quantum tunneling has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Radiolab (Nov 2025).
In physics, quantum tunnelling, barrier penetration, or simply tunnelling is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which an object such as an electron or atom passes through a potential energy barrier that, according to classical mechanics, should not be passable due to the object not having sufficient energy to pass or surmount the barrier.
