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 ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

The film explores the dual nature of light, demonstrating its behavior as both a wave and a particle through an experiment involving a double slit. It shows how light creates an interference pattern, ...

Nice writing, Mr. Lee! I wish you had been my prof for my quantum chemistry class back in grad school. I've always imagined aromatic carbon compounds (like this phthalocyanine and like the bases that ...

Photon duality remains a paradox because the photon is regarded as a simple, unitary object in space. Equally bad, massless radiation is interpreted via concepts drawn from mass-based physics. The ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...

Photons are particles of light, or waves, or something like that, right? [Mithuna Yoganathan] explains this conundrum in more detail than you probably got in your high school physics class. While ...
