Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in multiple states at once.

A cloud of helium atoms split, scattered and fell under gravity, yet still behaved as if its parts were linked. That is the ...

The famous double slit experiment shows that particles can travel on two paths at the same time -- but only by looking at a lot of particles and analysing the results statistically. Now a ...

Physicists have developed a spectral-filtering technique that strips away unwanted extra photons from quantum light sources, ...

A team of physicists has shown that pairs of helium atoms, chilled to near absolute zero and launched into each other, can ...

When molecules collide with surfaces, a complex exchange of energy takes place between the molecule and the atoms composing the surface. But beneath this dizzying complexity, quantum mechanics, which ...

Two of the forefathers of quantum theory, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, had a famous argument over whether light is a wave ...

The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the path of the ...
