Researchers at Tampere University and the University of Eastern Finland have reached a milestone in a study where they derived a new kind of wave equation, which applies for accelerating waves. The ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Quantum mechanics is a pillar of modern science and technology, and has benefited the human society for a century. The wave function, also known as the quantum state, is the description of a quantum ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Researchers have shown how the principles of rogue waves -- huge 30-meter waves that arise unexpectedly in the ocean -- can be applied on a nano scale, with dozens of applications from medicine to ...

This computer-generated visualization shows the wavelike pattern of a “quantum handshake” between a hydrogen atom emitting energy and another atom receiving the energy. (J. Cramer and C. Mead via ...

THIS new edition needs little introduction to readers of NATTJBE. For the benefit of those who have not studied it, it may be said at once that it is one of the best introductions to wave mechanics ...

For more than a century, gravity has been the stubborn outlier in physics, resisting every attempt to merge Einstein’s smooth ...

Wavelength, speed, frequency, and amplitude are the defining characteristics of a wave, but we are also interested in one more thing… Wavelength, speed, frequency, and amplitude are the defining ...
