A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness ...
A microscopic clump of sodium has become the largest object ever to be observed as a wave, improving upon previous records by thousands of atoms. Quantum physics defines particles in terms of waves, ...
Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the ...
Tests in a gate-defined loop on graphene tracked a fractional charge circling back with a steady interference beat, as ...
The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...
Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.
