A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...

Researchers from the University of Vienna and the University of Duisburg-Essen showed that metallic ...

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

Albert Einstein was right about a shocking among of things, but not necessarily everything.

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

(Inside Science) — One of the strangest things about quantum mechanics is that a particle can act like a wave. In particular, in a double-slit experiment, individual particles that are shot through a ...

Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

Scientists recreated one of the most important experiments in the history of physics—but this time, they used antimatter instead of regular matter. All matter particles have a corresponding antimatter ...
