Stevens’ team harnesses both the “wave-ness” and “particle-ness” of quantum objects to develop a groundbreaking imaging ...

Photons are particles of light, or waves, or something like that, right? [Mithuna Yoganathan] explains this conundrum in more detail than you probably got in your high school phys ...

If light is both a particle and a wave, why not everything else? Louis De Broglie proposed this idea, and electron wave-particle duality was confirmed in 1927 by George Thomson.

Electrons are elementary particles -- indivisible, unbreakable. But new research suggests the electron's quantum state -- the electron wave function -- can be separated into many parts. That has ...

Whether a “particle” — say, an electron — exhibited its wave or particle nature depended on the experimental setup observing it.

The wave pattern for electrons passing through a double slit, one-at-a-time. If you measure “which... [+] slit” the electron goes through, you destroy the quantum interference pattern shown here.

Electron beam oscillators utilising surface wave structures represent a key technology in the generation of high‐power electromagnetic radiation. By deploying relativistic electron beams in ...
