Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

Space 'Something's missing': Most thorough-ever study of the cosmos proves we still can't explain how the universe is expanding Space Physicists witness faster-than-light darkness pinpricks, humans ...

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 ...

Everything on the electromagnetic spectrum has some properties of both waves and particles, but it’s difficult to imagine a radio wave, for example, behaving like a particle. The main evidence for a ...

Discovery of superluminal correlations within 2D hexagonal boron nitride could advance super-resolution electron microscopy ...

Quantum physics once shocked scientists by revealing that particles can behave like waves—and now, that strange behavior has ...

For the first time, physicists have observed that 'holes' in light can move faster than the light itself. They're known as ...
