Sound waves, light waves and other types of waves, generally spread freely through space and over time. In 1958, physicist ...

When Louis de Broglie postulated that we need to ‘associate a periodic phenomenon with any isolated portion of matter or energy’, he predicted that these new ideas would ‘solve almost all the problems ...

Quantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also have wave-like properties. These properties can be represented using the wave ...

Quantum physics has a long history of producing results that seem impossible until someone finds a way to watch them happen ...

Fig. 1 THz wave generation from MoS2 through quantum interference. (a) Schematic diagram of THz wave generation from MoS2 under two-color light excitation at normal incidence. (b) THz waveforms ...

Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

In a novel experiment, physicists have observed long range quantum coherence effects due to Aharonov-Bohm interference in a topological insulator-based device. This finding opens up a new realm of ...
