For centuries, most scientists have shared the belief that light behaves as both a wave and a particle. This idea, then, became the central component to quantum theory, sprouting the field of science ...

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Some atoms in a liquid stay fixed even at high temperatures, reshaping how solidification starts and enabling an unusual corralled supercooled liquid state. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have discovered ...

Photons, for centuries both a puzzle and a tool, continue to help scientists illuminate nature at the smallest and largest scales. Photons, the fundamental particles of the electromagnetic field that ...

Quantum physics can seem pretty tough at first, but there are a lot of books out there that make it way less scary. If you’re just starting out and want to learn about quantum physics without getting ...

Abstract: Based on the relationship of wave-particle duality other than Maxwell equations and being of methodological novelty, both a real-number free-space photonic wave equation and a complex one in ...

If there's one thing the best running shoes for beginners shouldn't be, it's intimidating. That's because when you start running (or start to think about starting running), it can feel like stepping ...

Quantum mechanics is one of the most successful theories in science — and makes much of modern life possible. Technologies ranging from computer chips to medical-imaging machines rely on the ...

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 ...

ABSTRACT: In 1905, Einstein established relativity under the condition of denying the absolute space-time valid in Newtonian mechanics. In those days, the quantum theory was also established by ...

Farai Mazhandu is the Founder of the Africa Quantum Consortium and a Physics Instructor at the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics in the United States of America. With a background spanning ...
