A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle ...

Each pixel on the image you see represents some particular wavelength of a radio wave. When you see the orange parts of the image, that's a false color representation of a wavelength somewhere ...

In a Nature Communications paper, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) math professor Yuri V. Lvov, Ph.D., and a team of ...

In fact, if we can define it, we can quantify just how “wave-like” a particle or set of particles is. Even an entire human being, under the right conditions, can act like a quantum wave.

On Sept. 14, 2015 astronomers “heard” two black holes crashing into each other at close to the speed of light. This discovery was a watershed moment in physics and astrophysics, ...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) is no stranger to making history and breaking records. In 2015 ...

(Image credit: NASA/SDO) Scientists have detected a strange new type of high-frequency wave on the sun's surface, and the waves are moving three times faster than scientists thought was possible.

For waves, this is no surprise. A water wave can be in two places at once. If you send a wave down a forked channel, it will easily split and flow through both channels at the same time.

The waves in French Polynesia are icons of surfing. Here’s a look at the physics behind the Olympic wave at Teahupo'o.

In this episode from NPR's daily science podcast Short Wave, we delve into the life and impact of Chien-Shiung Wu, widely considered the "queen of nuclear physics." ...
