Wave-particle duality is a fundamental fact of the Universe. But we don’t see many objects moving around as waves. This is why it hurts when a golf ball hits you on the head: you and the golf ball are ...
Antimatter isn't just made of antiparticles, it's also made of waves. Now we know that this holds true even at the level of a single antimatter particle. Physicists have known for a long time that ...
Quantum theory is strange. With it's particle-wave duality, and spooky action at a distance, it is a difficult theory to wrap your head around. But long before we were able to test some of its ...
That strange sound? It’s Earth’s magnetosphere—the magnetic field created by the movement of the iron core deep within the planet. The magnetosphere is a shield, protecting us from dangerous cosmic ...
A cluster of 7,000 sodium atoms has just been coaxed into behaving as a single, ghostly wave, stretching quantum weirdness into a realm that starts to look uncomfortably like everyday matter. Instead ...
