One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...

Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

Researchers have found that a swirling water vortex can force opposing waves to form rotating lines of stillness across an ...

In the chaotic first moments after the Big Bang, ripples in spacetime may have done more than just echo through the ...

Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in ...

Though invisible, dark matter is thought to make up most of the universe's mass. According to one theory, lightweight dark matter has continuous wave behavior, which may result in rhythmic forces that ...

Gravitational waves could be responsible for the production of dark matter during the early phases of our universe’s formation, according to results of a new study by Professor Joachim Kopp from ...
