One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

For the first time, physicists have watched a beam of positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), have designed innovative technology that can generate both ...

Now that LIGO has detected their first gravitational wave signal, the part of Einstein's theory that predicts that the fabric of space itself should have ripples and waves in it has been confirmed.

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...
