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

Schrödinger’s cat just got a little bit fatter. Physicists have created the largest ever ‘superposition’ — a quantum state in ...

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.

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 ...

According to quantum mechanics, ordinary matter, not just light, can exhibit wave properties. The wave nature of matter is described by a 'quantum superposition' state, where physical states like posi ...

(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 ...

In 1927, Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr debated the nature of what’s known as complementarity—the idea that a photon’s dual wave-like and particle natures can’t be measured at the same time. Now, two ...
