For the first time, physicists have watched a beam of positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter ...
One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...
Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the ...
In 1905, Albert Einstein provided an explanation of the photoelectric effect – that various metals emit electrons when light is shined on them – by suggesting that a beam of light is not simply a wave ...
Classically, light can be thought of in two ways: either as a particle or a wave. But what is it really? Well, the ‘observer effect’ makes that question kind of difficult to answer. So before we get ...
For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...
