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 ...

These waves do not arrive instantaneously. Although they travel at the fastest possible speed (the speed of light,) they take a while to get here. The universe is big, so the news is delayed by ...

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.

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

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