Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre ...

A particle’s state spreads out like a wave, peaking where the particle is likely to be found. When you measure its position, this spread-out state, known as a wave function, transforms into a single ...

Collision course Artist’s impression of gravitational waves from two black holes. (Courtesy: iStock/Auris) By adapting mathematical techniques used in particle physics, researchers in Germany have ...

We present a tool, one that is both a stand-alone web-based video game and a Python package, designed for students to explore a particle’s wave function on one-dimensional potential surfaces. The tool ...

Discover the truth about wave-particle duality and challenge the established view. Explore the evidence that particles remain particles and wave functions remain waves, debunking the mysterious ...

Home > Science Dark Matter Is More Wave Than Particle, Study of Einstein Ring Suggests Dark matter makes up 85% of the universe, and we're a little closer to understanding what it is.

We can frequently find in our daily lives a localized wave structure that maintains its shape upon propagation—picture a smoke ring flying in the air. Similar stable structures have been studied in ...
