Scientists see quantum waves in positronium for the 1st time ever
Physicists have finally watched positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a tiny billiard ball. In a set of ...

Why big ships are often faster than small ships, hull speed, wave drag, and the physics behind it
It feels backwards, but larger ships often have an easier time reaching higher speeds than smaller vessels. This breaks down hull speed, wave interference, hump resistance, and the design tricks like ...
The classic signature of wave-particle duality in quantum particles is the wave-like interference pattern that is produced when a beam of particles passes through a ‘double-slit’. Researchers have ...
Quantum physics tells us about the properties and behaviors of atomic and subatomic particles. But scientists have long held the belief that the rules that govern the microscopic world should also be ...
