That "heavier electrons" line jumped out at me as well.
While it is true that "electrons are electrons are electrons", there is sometimes an interaction of an electron with a material that makes it act as a new kind of quasiparticle, like an electron with much greater mass.
The general subject matter is called "heavy fermions".

That is exactly what I was thinking. An electron is an electron.

Science writers might know how to construct sentences, but they don’t know Jack about science...Now your just being silly. A lot of science writers can't construct sentences either.

And to think years back as I stood at that Bell Lab's physical chemist black board and tried to understand the formulas he related to me on the blackboard indicating why no one would ever be able to break a 1 micron channel length in CMOS Silicon technologies. : )
Stay healthy Ernest. Good health and a content upcoming year for you and yours. George
