With a carefully designed experiment and a handful of tin atoms, University of Tennessee, Knoxville's physicists have found a ...

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

Positronium shouldn't last long enough to be interesting. It's an "atom" assembled from an electron and its antimatter twin — ...

Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

In materials science, if you can understand the "texture" of a material—how its internal patterns form and shift—you can begin to design how it behaves. That's the focus of the work of Zhenglu Li, ...

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

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have long known that electrons are indivisible fundamental particles. Yet surprising new research shows that a weird feature of quantum mechanics can be used to produce ...

The double-slit connection In their paper, the authors draw an elegant analogy to the famous double-slit experiment, where particles like electrons produce interference patterns when passed through ...

Scientists have long known that electrons are indivisible fundamental particles. Yet surprising new research shows that a weird feature of quantum mechanics can be used to produce objects that behave ...
