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 ...

Wave-particle duality is a fundamental fact of the Universe. But we don’t see many objects moving around as waves. This is why it hurts when a golf ball hits you on the head: you and the golf ball are ...

Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre world in which an object can act like both waves and particles, and behave ...

In today’s SISOFBDRU (stuff I shared on Facebook but don’t really understand) news, we have the very first photograph of “light as both a particle and wave,” pictured above. And woah, how PLUR (look ...

Light has been captured in both particle and wave forms for the first time ever, confirming a theory first proposed by Albert Einstein in 1905, NBC News reported Monday. A team of scientists the Ecole ...

Photons are particles of light, or waves, or something like that, right? [Mithuna Yoganathan] explains this conundrum in more detail than you probably got in your high school physics class. While ...

Athought experiment at the heart of an argument between famed physicists Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr in 1927 has finally ...
