The experiments here described were designed to test experimentally some conclusions about free standing waves recently reached analytically by Penney & Price. A close approximation to free ...

A new experiment captures a single parcel of light morphing between wave and particle. Published in the April Physical Review A, the experiment dissects a light pulse associated with a single photon ...

The weird way that light can behave as both a wave and a particle has been known to physicists for about a century, but a team in Lausanne has only now managed to capture it doing both at the same ...

Antimatter isn't just made of antiparticles, it's also made of waves. Now we know that this holds true even at the level of a single antimatter particle. Physicists have known for a long time that ...

Quantum theory is strange. With it's particle-wave duality, and spooky action at a distance, it is a difficult theory to wrap your head around. But long before we were able to test some of its ...
