The concept of wave-particle duality is one that has been at the forefront of many scientist’s minds for decades. While going ...

Is light a particle or a wave? "Whether light is a particle or a wave is a very old question," Riccardo Sapienza, a physicist at Imperial College London, told Live Science. As a species ...

In 1920, Danish physicist Niels Bohr proposed that although light (photons) has a dual nature, behaving as both particle and wave, it’s impossible to observe this duality at the same time.

Owing to the wave nature of light there are many ways that such different waves can interact with each other, but also with ...

Various magnetic and quantum systems contain tiny swirling patterns called meron pairs. These patterns or spin textures can ...

One of the most irrational--yet essential--features of quantum mechanics is that light may be both particles and waves. We refer to this as wave-particle duality. The theory dates back to the 17th ...
