FRAYING FRINGES. Electrons traveling via two possible paths act like waves, forming interference fringes. As the beams pass increasingly closer to a surface (top to bottom of each image), their paths are revealed with greater certainty, smearing out the fringes. The effect increases (left to right images) with increasing separation of the paths. Credit: Sonnentag/Univ. of Tübingen
