One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...

The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...

For the first time, researchers from Tokyo University of Science have observed wave-like interference patterns from ...

“Positronium is the simplest atom composed of equal-mass constituents, and until it self-annihilates, it behaves as a neutral atom in a vacuum. Now, for the first time, we have observed quantum ...

Inside the Findings That Shaped Materials Science takes a closer look at some of those turning points - the ideas, lab innovations, and breakthroughs that shifted the way we study and use materials.
