At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...
Physicists have finally watched positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a tiny billiard ball. In a set of ...
Researchers have demonstrated that a nanoparticle of 7,000 sodium atoms can act as a wave, creating a record-setting ...
Researchers from the University of Vienna have reported quantum interference in metallic nanoparticles. These little spheres were made of between 5,000 and 10,000 sodium atoms and measured about 8 ...
Tests in a gate-defined loop on graphene tracked a fractional charge circling back with a steady interference beat, as ...
