Wave-particle duality is one of the strangest consequences of quantum mechanics we've ever uncovered. Image credit: Wikimedia Commons user Sakurambo, based on Thomas Young's work presented to the ...

If quantum physics is right, then wave-particle duality is real, even for gravitational waves. Here's what that means. This diagram, dating back to Thomas Young's work in the early 1800s, is one ...

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 ...

Astronomy New theory could finally make 'quantum gravity' a reality — and prove Einstein wrong. ... a concept known as particle-wave duality. That's been shown again and again in experiments.

“The wave-particle duality was, when first proposed, a big surprise because these were two seemingly different concepts, and we learned that they are the same thing,” Horowitz said.

One of the bizarre features of quantum mechanics is that individual particles behave as if they are waves and interfere with themselves. Now, researchers have demonstrated that it's possible to ...

One core aspect of quantum mechanics, called wave-particle duality, holds that every wave that is the carrier of a force (such as gravity) also is represented at the quantum level by individual ...

While the electromagnetic, weak and strong forces are all described using quantum field theory — a mathematical framework that incorporates uncertainty and wave-particle duality — gravity ...

It takes advantage of wave–particle duality in ... differently by external forces such as gravity. As a result, matter-wave interferometry can be used to make extremely precise measurement of the ...

Antimatter Is Both a Particle and a Wave, New Experiment Confirms. ... a concept known as particle-wave duality. ... and use those results to probe the nature of gravity at very small scales.
