The theory of quantum mechanics has transformed daily life since being proposed a century ago, yet how it works remains a ...

This principle of wave-particle duality has been challenged, but a new analysis reaffirms it. E. Otwell By Tom Siegfried September 15, 2014 at 5:26 pm - More than 2 years ago ...

This kind of experiment has revealed the wave-particle duality of photons, electrons, atoms and even large molecules (SN: 11/20/10, p. 20).

The experiment Linköping University’s Joakim Argillander and Daniel Spegel-Lexne were part of the team that investigated the relationship between quantum uncertainty and wave–particle duality.

One of the most bizarre aspects of quantum physics is that the fundamental entities that make up the Universe, what we know as the indivisible quanta of reality, behave as both a wave and a particle.

I think there's a huge difference between them, though, in that the issues with quantum foundations are really aesthetic in an essential way, while particle theory faces large quantitative issues.

Physics + Math Quantum Physicists Catch a Pilot Wave Experiments with bouncing oil droplets could change our understanding of quantum mechanics and the nature of reality.

Understanding how things work in the quantum world is both fun and mind-bending. Physicist Adam Frank suggests spending a minute watching this video on the wave-particle duality.

Researchers created an interference pattern for molecules made of 100 atoms -- the largest objects ever shown to reveal the weird quantum effect of particle-wave duality.

Is light a wave or a particle? Yes. No. Maybe. Isaac Newton posited that light came in discrete “corpuscles.” In 1803, Thomas Young’s double slit experiment refuted Newton, demonstrating the dual ...
