The exceptional flatness and cleanliness of the Au(111) surface ensured that the observed scattering behavior arose from fundamental quantum wave aspects rather than random surface irregularities ...

This diagram, dating back to ... It's as though if both paths are there as available options simultaneously, without restriction, you get interference and wave-like behavior.

The relatively large phthalocyanine (C 32 H 18 N 8) and derivative molecules (C 48 H 26 F 24 N 8 O 8) have more mass than anything in which quantum interference has previously been observed.To ...

The interference pattern produced from a single wavelength of light on the sensor screen is evidence that light is a wave. Thomas Young found this in 1801 when he first carried out his double-slit ...

Pilot-wave theory has no counterpart to explain particle behavior at near-light-speed, which is part of the reason it cannot explain particles existing in two places at once, or springing in and ...

You might think that reality simply is, and exists independently of the observer, but whether you see wave-like or particle-like behavior depends entirely on how you make your observation. STEVE ...

The double-slit experiment’s interference patterns suggest something is in two places at once. Credit: Huw Jones/Getty. Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made ...

The interference pattern of a double-slit experiment. The physics equations you learned in school don't work on the atomic scale. We have Newtonian physics to explain the world we can see and feel ...
