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 ...

Light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the eye. It travels as a transverse wave. Unlike a sound waves, light waves do not need a medium to pass through, they can ...

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 ...
