Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...
Researchers from the University of Vienna have reported quantum interference in metallic nanoparticles. These little spheres were made of between 5,000 and 10,000 sodium atoms and measured about 8 ...
The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

For more than a century, scientists have known that waves can behave in ways that seem to defy common sense, from freak walls ...
For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...
In a first, scientists have shown that they can send light through “slits in time” in time. The new experiment is a twist on a 220-year-old demonstration, in which light shines through two slits in a ...
The double-slit connection In their paper, the authors draw an elegant analogy to the famous double-slit experiment, where particles like electrons produce interference patterns when passed through ...
