This week marks the centenary of the French physicist Louis de Broglie's doctoral thesis, which later earned him a Nobel prize for "his discovery of the wave nature of electrons." This discovery ...

Down at the level of atoms and electrons, quantum physics describes the behavior of the very smallest objects. Solar panels, LED lights, your mobile phone and MRI scanners in hospitals: all of these ...

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 ...
