Even light can be made to slow down by making it go through a certain (dense?) mediums. So, yes.
-edit : Light doesn't slow down, the speed of light is a constant. What is observed is the increase in time for absorption and re-emittance of the photon (light) which causes the apparent slow down. As for electrons, yes I believe they can be slowed down with interactions.

If the question deals with electrons in orbit around an atom, then the answer is NO. Not by themselves.
Energy is in fact lost in chunks, called quanta. In the macroscopic world, however, these chunks are so small that when energy appears to be lost or gained continuously when in fact it is changing in immeasurably small increments. So, a satellite in orbit loses quanta and gradually slows down.
At the atomic level, however, energy behaves very differently. Individual quanta are significant at this scale. An electron cannot keep continually slowing down, if it loses even one quanta it is a relatively huge change. So, at that scale the electrons do not slow down autonomously. However, they can be slowed down by interactions

What causes a hurricane to slow down?
Hurricanes can slow down due to a variety of factors, such as encountering weak steering currents, interacting with other weather systems, or moving over cooler waters which can weaken the storm. Additionally, the topography of the land can also slow down a hurricane as it approaches a coastline.
Does flour slow down melting of ice?
No, flour does not slow down the melting of ice. In fact, it can potentially speed up the process because it can absorb heat and reduce the temperature of the ice surface. Sand or salt are more commonly used to slow down the melting of ice by creating a barrier that impedes the ice's ability to melt.
What slows the flow of electrons?
Factors that can slow the flow of electrons include resistance in the conducting medium (such as a wire), the presence of impurities or defects in the material, and increasing the length of the conducting path. Additionally, temperature can also impact electron flow as higher temperatures can increase resistance in the material.
WHAT HAPENS TO MAKE WEATHERING SLOW?
Factors that can slow down weathering processes include the presence of protective coatings on rocks, such as iron oxide or clay minerals, which can shield the rock surface from further weathering. Additionally, compact or dense rock structures can slow down the penetration of water and air, both of which are necessary for weathering to occur. Finally, colder temperature conditions can also slow down chemical reactions that drive weathering processes.
What temperature does bacteria slow down?
Bacteria generally slow down in growth and reproduction below 50°F (10°C). This is because lower temperatures slow down metabolic processes and enzyme activity in bacteria, reducing their ability to multiply quickly. Some bacteria may even become dormant at very low temperatures.
The of a circuit tends to slow down the movement of electrons?
The "impedance" of a circuit slows down the movement of electrons. This can be resistive, reactive or a combination of both.
Can you slow down electrons in order to store renewable energy sources?
There are two parts to this: "Can you slow down electrons" - yes, that's possible; electron transport moves at different speeds in different materials. "in order to store renewable energy sources" - that's essentially nonsense.
Special load in a circuit that slows down the flow of electrons?
Loads do not 'slow down' electron flow. They effect the magnitude of a current, not its speed!
How fast an electric current flow in a circuit?
the ability if a substance to slow down electric current
How could you slow down electron flow?
You can slow down electron flow by increasing resistance in the circuit, using resistors for example. By increasing the obstruction to electron flow, you reduce the rate at which electrons can move through the circuit. Additionally, lowering the voltage in the circuit will also slow down electron flow.
What is it called that slow the flow of electric current?
A resistor is used to slow down or limit the flow of electric current in a circuit. It does this by resisting the flow of electrons and reducing the amount of current that can pass through.
What is the ability of a substance to oppose or slow down electric current?
Insulators typically slow the movement of electrons through an electric current. Bad conductors, such as rubber, can be used to slow, stop, and/or redirect electric current.CommentInsulators do not 'slow down', 'stop', or 'redirect' current! Simply put, insulators don't have enough charge carriers to support conduction.
Why do Slow down and slow up mean the same?
I think you mean slow down and speed up. slow down =slow, speed up=fast
How do you slow down on a skeleton?
how do you slow down when competing in skeleton?
Why do cars slow down?
cars slow down because of friction and when you push the brake pedal you automatically slow down
When was Slow Down World created?
Slow Down World was created in 1975-08.
What is the past participle of slow down?
The past participle of "slow down" is "slowed down."
