Physics is simple. In fact, it never ceases to astonish me how, with a few simple ideas from physics in your suitcase, you can travel from your own backyard to the most exotic realms of the universe, ...

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

Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, working with colleagues in Norway and Chile, recreated the Aharonov–Bohm effect using water waves in a vortex tank, finding unexpected ...

The quantum physics of massive particles has intrigued physicists for more than 80 years, since it predicts that even complex particles can exhibit wave-like behaviour – in conflict with our everyday ...

Even for scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding gravity, the force’s relentless downward pull is sometimes a drag. Consider, for instance, the researchers who study Bose-Einstein ...

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

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

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 ...
