A basic principle of quantum mechanics has been reaffirmed. Stop the presses. (Or start the tweeting.) It’s no surprise, really, for quantum physics to withstand another assault. It would have been ...
Antimatter isn't just made of antiparticles, it's also made of waves. Now we know that this holds true even at the level of a single antimatter particle. Physicists have known for a long time that ...
Quantum physics tells us about the properties and behaviors of atomic and subatomic particles. But scientists have long held the belief that the rules that govern the microscopic world should also be ...
The twenty-first century has undoubtedly been the era of quantum science. Quantum mechanics was born in the early twentieth century and has been used to develop unprecedented technologies which ...
For the first time, wave-particle duality has been observed in a biomolecule. The team of physicists at the University of Vienna in Austria have also observed wave-like behaviour in the most massive ...
Wave-particle duality is a fundamental fact of the Universe. But we don't see many objects moving around as waves. This is why it hurts when a golf ball hits you on the head: you and the golf ball are ...
The significance of this experiment cannot be overemphasized. The question of whether light is a particle or a wave, or both, and both at different moments or simultaneously, has been at the center of ...
Now that LIGO has detected their first gravitational wave signal, the part of Einstein's theory that predicts that the fabric of space itself should have ripples and waves in it has been confirmed.
Here's a nice surprise: quantum physics is less complicated than we thought. An international team of researchers has demonstrated that two peculiar features of the quantum world previously considered ...
