A microscopic clump of sodium has become the largest object ever to be observed as a wave, improving upon previous records by ...
Researchers have demonstrated that a nanoparticle of 7,000 sodium atoms can act as a wave, creating a record-setting ...
The original paper by Kim et al. on the Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser suggests the concept of retrocausality, which stems ...
The new research demonstrates for the first time that the wave nature of matter persists even at large scales, using massive ...
The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...
Quantum mechanics describes the unconventional properties of subatomic particles, like their ability to exist in a superposition of multiple states, as popularized by the Schrödinger's cat analogy, ...
Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.
The Irish mathematician and physicist William Rowan Hamilton, who was born 220 years ago last month, is famous for carving some mathematical graffiti into Dublin's Broome Bridge in 1843. But in his ...
