It’s in your physics textbook, go look. It says that you can either model light as an electromagnetic wave OR you can model light a stream of photons. You can’t use both models at the same time. It’s ...

image: Physicists has shown that it is possible to observe the wave properties of massive particles at room temperature, in practically any modern physics laboratory, because it is only necessary to ...

Alfvén waves are fundamental plasma wave modes that permeate the universe. At small kinetic scales, they provide a critical mechanism for the transfer of energy between electromagnetic fields and ...

Researchers have managed to entangle ten billion pairs of particles at once, according to a letter in Nature this week. The group of scientists used phosphorus-doped silicon, a microwave pulse, and a ...

Holding pattern Small clusters of caesium atoms (pink blobs) were held in a vertical optical lattice. A laser then splits each atom into a quantum state in which half of the atom was closer to a ...
