A beam of electrons crossed just a few millimeters of plasma, then helped trigger an effect that usually belongs to massive ...

An international research group has now made significant progress in the further development of compact plasma accelerators, considered a promising technology for the future: With two complementary ...

The particle-wave nature of light has fascinated researchers for more than 200 years, but a new experiment has allowed researchers to visualize it like never before. This image was taken by turning an ...

In 1905, Albert Einstein provided an explanation of the photoelectric effect – that various metals emit electrons when light is shined on them – by suggesting that a beam of light is not simply a wave ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

A basic principle of quantum mechanics has been reaffirmed. Stop the presses. (Or start the tweeting.) It’s no surprise, really, for quantum physics to withstand another assault. It would have been ...
