Determining the passage of time in our world of ticking clocks and oscillating pendulums is a simple case of counting the ...

According to the video you can see below, the right way to think about it is as a standing wave. What does that mean? The video shows a very interesting demonstrator that shows how that works.

Several prominent phenomena of condensed matter, exemplified by nonlinear transport, flat-band superconductivity, and ...

Laser-plasma accelerators can accelerate particles over distances that are up to 1,000 times shorter than those required by ...

However, such accelerators are massive and considerably expensive. To overcome these limitations, scientists have been ...

How? Well, if we take quantum mechanics seriously and look at the electron as a wave, it becomes possible to cross the barrier. In 1926, a man by the name of [Erwin Schrödinger] published a paper ...

For instance, if the usually perfectly-ordered atoms in a crystal had even a single atom out of place, the electron waves' movement as it traveled through would be seriously changed. One of the ...

IN 1924, Prince Louis de Broglie put forward the thesis that all material particles, and in particular electrons, have properties analogous to those of a train of waves. This view, which is now ...
