Is light a particle or a wave?
Does light behave more like a particle, or like a wave? Today we know the surprising answer. Here's why it took so long to ...
"Our results have no clear or direct application right now. It's basic research that lays the foundation for future ...
In classical optics, for instance, a brighter light has more energy, and a greater amplitude of its electromagnetic wave. But, when it comes to ejecting an electron from a material via the ...
The double-slit experiment, termed “the quantum experiment that broke reality,” demonstrates the paradoxical wave-particle ...
Photoemission is a process during which electrons are ejected from a metal surface when exposed to electromagnetic radiation, (eg ultraviolet). If a clean, positively charged zinc plate is exposed ...
French physicist Louis de Broglie's pilot wave theory proposed that quantum particles are directed by a guiding wave.
New research confirms that a photon's wave and particle nature can't be fully observed simultaneously due to entropic ...
That light can be both particles and waves is one of the most illogical – but at the same time fundamental – characteristics of quantum mechanics. This is called wave-particle duality. The theory ...
Researchers have defined the precise shape of a single photon, a huge leap forward in quantum physics and material science.
