Irish physicist William Rowan Hamilton’s pioneering work contained hints of the enigmatic wave–particle duality that governs the universe.

The researchers found that a slightly curved meniscus allows more wave energy to pass through the barrier. Conversely, if the meniscus curves more steeply, it reduces the energy transported by the ...

In an article published in Communications Physics, researchers from the Université libre de Bruxelles and the Institute for ...

Trapping ultracold atoms with laser light let researchers magnify and then image the wave functions of atoms that were ...

Gravitational-wave detection technology is poised to make a big leap forward thanks to an instrumentation advance led by physicist Jonathan Richardson of the University of California, Riverside. A ...

An exceptionally loud collision between two black holes has been detected by the LIGO gravitational wave observatory, ...

The international network of gravitational wave detectors LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) has published the clearest gravitational wave signal ever measured on Earth from two merging black holes. Researchers ...

Quantum delocalization In an artistic rendering, a silica nanoparticle is held by laser light. The uncertainty in the particle’s position spreads and recompresses (blue trajectories), illustrating ...

Hurricane Erick formed June 18 in the eastern Pacific Ocean, becoming the fifth named storm of the eastern Pacific season to date – a flurry of activity in sharp contrast with the tepid start to ...
