The precise imaging of many-body systems, which are comprised of many interacting particles, can help to validate theoretical ...

Quantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also have wave-like properties. These properties can be represented using the wave ...

The Irish mathematician and physicist William Rowan Hamilton, who was born 220 years ago last month, is famous for carving some mathematical graffiti into Dublin's Broome Bridge in 1843.

A strange kind of geometry governs how particles move inside matter. Now, for the first time, physicists have uncovered its ...

A survey of Scientific American’s century of quantum coverage helps explain the enduring popularity of strange physics ...

In 1931, Harvey Elliott White developed a device that traced out the shapes of electron clouds by approximating solutions to ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.
