How that can happen ? The smart guys tell us: Through a quirk of quantum physics, it’s possible for two particles to overcome the electrostatic barrier. The quantum “wave-like” nature of particles allows a small probability that “quantum tunneling” may occur through the electrostatic barrier, an (...)
