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 ...

Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

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 ...

The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

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 ...

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 ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...
