Quantum electron tunneling is a principle of quantum mechanics frequently employed in microelectronics.

For instance, every single flash memory device in existence depends on electron tunneling to function at all. Each memory cell in a flash chip is a quantum electron trap and could not function if quantum tunneling were not understood.

Why do submerged objects experience buoyancy? I'm familiar with archimedes' principle, but if an object is surrounded by fluid why does the displaced fluid exert an upward force?

What now bitch.
