Complementarity A new twist on the double-slit experiment. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Andrey VP) One of the most counterintuitive concepts in physics – the idea that quantum objects are complementary, ...

Photon duality remains a paradox because the photon is regarded as a simple, unitary object in space. Equally bad, massless radiation is interpreted via concepts drawn from mass-based physics. The ...

The experiment Linköping University’s Joakim Argillander and Daniel Spegel-Lexne were part of the team that investigated the relationship between quantum uncertainty and wave–particle duality.

For the first time, wave-particle duality has been observed in a biomolecule. The team of physicists at the University of Vienna in Austria have also observed wave-like behaviour in the most massive ...

Wave-particle duality is a fundamental fact of the Universe. But we don't see many objects moving around as waves. This is why it hurts when a golf ball hits you on the head: you and the golf ball are ...
