This article discusses research that revealed details in last year's black hole image, and the future for black hole imaging.
One advantage of working with electrons over photons is that the greater mass of the electron means that even slower-moving particles have much shorter wavelengths. This results in a smaller diffraction limit and it is much easier to achieve higher imaging resolution.
