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 ...

For the first time, physicists have watched a beam of positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

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 ...

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

Researchers from Linköping University together with colleagues from Poland and Chile have confirmed a theory that proposes a connection between the complementarity principle and entropic uncertainty.
