Researchers have demonstrated that a nanoparticle of 7,000 sodium atoms can act as a wave, creating a record-setting ...

Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

Researchers from the University of Vienna and the University of Duisburg-Essen showed that metallic ...

Tests in a gate-defined loop on graphene tracked a fractional charge circling back with a steady interference beat, as ...

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow quantum rules.

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 ...

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...

As high school students see in experiments with water waves, and we observe and use with light waves in many optical devices, interference is a fundamental property associated with wave-like behavior.

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 ...
