The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

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

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. One of the greatest scientific achievements in all of human history was ...

Far from being a solely quantum mechanical phenomenon, interference occurs with all kinds of waves, including water waves and sound waves. Interference is the process in which two or more waves of the ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...

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

Holographic images: the two figures on the left are two holographic images produced by a leaky-wave metasurface at two different distances from the device surface. The other figures are distinct ...
