At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Electrons are elementary particles -- indivisible, unbreakable. But new research suggests the electron's quantum state -- the electron wave function -- can be separated into many parts. That has some ...

Light’s dual nature, manifesting as both wave-like and particle-like behaviour, is a phenomenon known as wave-particle duality and remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in quantum mechanics.

The first direct visualization of quantum dots in bilayer graphene shows the shape of the quantum wave function of the trapped electrons. (Image credit: Zhehao Ge, Frederic Joucken, and Jairo Velasco ...

Quantum computing, secure wireless communication and advances in quantum teleportation could be closer to reality now that a team of researchers has developed a more efficient way of measuring wave ...

I HAVE been able to show that there does not exist a mutually definite correlation between the spin and the transformation properties of the wave function of an elementary particle, as generally ...

In 2005, a student working in the fluid physicist Yves Couder’s laboratory in Paris discovered by chance that tiny oil droplets bounced when plopped onto the surface of a vibrating oil bath. Moreover, ...
