Photon duality remains a paradox because the photon is regarded as a simple, unitary object in space. Equally bad, massless radiation is interpreted via concepts drawn from mass-based physics. The ...

Quantum physics tells us about the properties and behaviors of atomic and subatomic particles. But scientists have long held the belief that the rules that govern the microscopic world should also be ...

Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre world in which an object can act like both waves and particles, and behave ...

Overview: Quantum Physics for Beginners by Carl J. Pratt simplifies core ideas like wave-particle duality and entanglement, making it ideal for first-time reade ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Recently, it was reported that an experiment ...

Nice writing, Mr. Lee! I wish you had been my prof for my quantum chemistry class back in grad school. I've always imagined aromatic carbon compounds (like this phthalocyanine and like the bases that ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Photons are particles of light, or waves, or something like that, right? [Mithuna Yoganathan] explains this conundrum in more detail than you probably got in your high school physics class. While ...
