Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this ... More 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit ...

Down at the level of atoms and electrons ... is the one thing that sets quantum behavior apart from water waves, making quantum physics truly strange. To appreciate how unusual quantum measurement ...

Davide Castelvecchi applauds an inside story on the discovery of gravitational waves. Perhaps no case in recent memory has put these questions into starker relief than the historic first detection ...

Types of Waves: In Physics, waves are a fundamental phenomena ... role in understanding the behavior of particles at the quantum level.

Gravitational waves, the booming echoes of massive objects ... they can be thought of as a physics experiment,” he says. “But as soon they detect a single source, they will be thought of ...

In this study, which is detailed in Nature Physics, Fleury and colleagues used audible sound waves to move a macroscopic floating object. Their next goal is to miniaturize the technique so that they ...

I write about physics, science ... you can see a kind of wave pattern moving from left to right: the water level drops (exposing some of the channels through which water is pumped to make the ...
