Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

Scientists have long known that electrons are indivisible fundamental particles. Yet surprising new research shows that a weird feature of quantum mechanics can be used to produce objects that behave ...

Two of the forefathers of quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, had a famous argument over whether light is a wave ...

A South Korean research team, through an international collaboration, has successfully identified 'dark electrons' in a solid material, a state previously considered theoretically impossible.

The electrons that power our society flow left and right through the circuitry in our electronics, back and forth along the ...

It was not until 100 years later, in 1801, that the British scientist Thomas Young was able to clearly prove the wave nature of light with his first double-slit experiment, which settled the question ...

In the fractional quantum Hall effect, electrons in a strong magnetic field organize into collective states. Such states behave as quasiparticles, known as anyons, that carry a fraction of the ...

Physicists have now managed to track the passage of time inside a quantum event without using anything that looks like a traditional clock. Instead of ticking gears or oscillating crystals, they read ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have long known that electrons are indivisible fundamental particles. Yet surprising new research shows that a weird feature of quantum mechanics can be used to produce ...
