Electrons moving in certain solids can behave as if they are a thousand times more massive than free electrons, but at the same time act as superconductors..
http://phys.org/news/2012-06-mass-scientists-electrons-heavy-speedy.html#jCp See the included video that displays heavy electrons at different energies and shows their standing wave patterns (like water in a pond) around individual atomic defects placed intentionally in a compound. The patterns in these images allowed the Princeton scientists to understand the formation of heavy electron waves and to identify a hard-to-measure quantum entanglement process that controls their mass.
