Quantum physicists at the Australian National University (ANU) have achieved a major milestone by directly observing atoms ...

For over 100 years, quantum physics has taught us that light is both a wave and a particle. Now, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have performed a daring experiment using ...

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

Light is both a wave and a particle – or so we have thought for about a hundred years. Since the advent of quantum physics, light has been understood to exhibit wave-particle duality. One part of this ...

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

In quantum physics, objects can exist in multiple states at the same time—a phenomenon known as quantum superposition, where ...

The quantum revolution in physics — whose 100th anniversary we have just celebrated — taught us that at the most basic level ...
