That enables the calculation of both wave-ness and particle-ness with far more precision. By measuring the coherence in a system, in fact, it becomes possible to calculate a quantum object's level of ...

Wavelength is defined, and students use the wave equation to solve problems. Wavelength is defined, and students use the wave equation to solve problems. Reflection is described at boundaries of ...

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

Random conditions in the ocean occasionally produce mammoth waves. A wave must be at least 2.2 times the height of the so-called significant wave height to qualify as a freak wave. The significant ...

This work establishes the first asymptotic stability result for multi-wave patterns in damped wave equations with partially linearly degenerate flux. The authors prove that global solutions converge ...

An interface between media with different helicities (red and blue curly arrows) supports zero-helicity linearly polarized surface modes (green arrow). (Credit: Konstantin Bliokh) Maxwell’s ...
