But the exact nature of light, and how it travels, has long puzzled scientists. One question in particular has vexed thinkers from Issac Newton to Albert Einstein: Is light a particle or a wave?

Linköping University's experiment confirms a key theoretical link between quantum mechanics and information theory, ...

In this chapter discussions on the properties of light cover the dual wave-particle nature of light, the speed of light in different materials, reflection, refraction, and polarization. These concepts ...

The nature of industrial particles depends ... According to Mie theory, particle scattering is enhanced when particle size and light wavelength are similar (Bohren & Huffman 1983).

From mysterious dark matter to the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei, the past 12 months have reiterated just how strange ...

(Courtesy: Magnus Johansson/LiU) The orbital angular momentum states of light have been used to relate quantum uncertainty to wave–particle duality ... in the laboratory – confirming the quantum ...

Experimental particle physics is the practical investigation ... when matter collides together at speeds close to that of light. Self-assembly in granular materials is challenging due to particle ...
