Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

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 ...

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.

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of ...

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the true limits of light’s wave–particle duality. Their results proved ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Shock wave dynamics and particle interaction constitute a rapidly evolving field that bridges high-speed fluid dynamics with particulate matter behaviour in a variety of industrial and natural ...
