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

Physicists in Leiden have recreated Thomas Young’s iconic double-slit experiment using gigahertz sound waves on gallium arsenide, revealing both parallels and differences with light. The study found ...

A leading physicist argues the brain may operate like a quantum system—and that enhancing it could create humans who perceive ...

In materials science, if you can understand the "texture" of a material—how its internal patterns form and shift—you can ...

Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in ...

A ball tossed into the air follows a path that classical physics can track with confidence. Shrink that ball down to the size ...

In materials science, if you can understand the "texture" of a material – how its internal patterns form and shift – you can begin to design how it ...

Wave or particle? Science continues to unravel one of humanity's greatest mysteries in this universe in rather useful ways.

(Aitor Diago/Moment/Getty Images) For the first time, physicists have observed that 'holes' in light can move faster than the light itself. They're known as phase singularities or optical vortices, ...
