Researchers have demonstrated that a nanoparticle of 7,000 sodium atoms can act as a wave, creating a record-setting ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

For more than a century, scientists have known that waves can behave in ways that seem to defy common sense, from freak walls of water in the open ocean to ghostly ripples inside atoms. What has ...

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow quantum rules.

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

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

Quantum physics tells us about the properties and behaviors of atomic and subatomic particles. But scientists have long held the belief that the rules that govern the microscopic world should also be ...

The classic signature of wave-particle duality in quantum particles is the wave-like interference pattern that is produced when a beam of particles passes through a ‘double-slit’. Researchers have ...

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