Researchers have found that a swirling water vortex can force opposing waves to form rotating lines of stillness across an ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same time. Matter no longer behaves like solid objects moving along clear paths.

Quantum physics once shocked scientists by revealing that particles can behave like waves—and now, that strange behavior has ...

Shock waves should not be shocking—engineers across scientific fields need to be able to precisely predict how the instant and strong pressure changes initiate and dissipate to prevent damage. Now, ...

Quantum mechanics, developed a century ago, has long challenged conventional views of nature. At its core lies the principle of wave-particle duality, which shows that quantum objects can behave like ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Light’s dual nature, manifesting as both wave-like and particle-like behaviour, is a phenomenon known as wave-particle duality and remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in quantum mechanics.
