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

A new and surprising duality has been discovered in theoretical particle physics. The duality exists between two types of scattering processes that can occur in the proton collisions made in the Large ...

Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre world in which an object can act like both waves and particles, and behave ...

Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. In recent decades, researchers exploring this wave-particle duality have learned to measure the relative "wave-ness" and ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Sorta sparked by this comment someone made to me but it's similar to what other people have told me before: I was listening to a lecture on quantum electrodynamics and it helped me conceptualize 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 ...
