Wave or particle? Science continues to unravel one of humanity's greatest mysteries in this universe in rather useful ways.

A new analysis reveals what happens when very short or narrow electron beams encounter a particle. The research is published ...

Electron beams (cyan haze in top left) are routinely used to determine the molecular structures of biomolecules in ...

There has been considerable debate among physicists over the last 15 years about conflicting measurements of the charge ...

Physicists have proposed a way to extract the internal quantum states of electron wave packets by analyzing how those packets ...

A beam of electrons crossed just a few millimeters of plasma, then helped trigger an effect that usually belongs to massive ...

One of the deepest mysteries in quantum physics is the wave-particle duality: every quantum object has properties of both a wave and a particle. Nowhere is this effect more beautifully demonstrated ...

The particle-wave nature of light has fascinated researchers for more than 200 years, but a new experiment has allowed researchers to visualize it like never before. This image was taken by turning an ...

An international research group has now made significant progress in the further development of compact plasma accelerators, considered a promising technology for the future: With two complementary ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...
