Nature Photonics - Laser-based particle acceleration offers a way to reduce the size of hard-X-ray sources. ... After reflection, the electron bunch is only around 10 μm behind the laser pulse, ...

The principle of wave-particle duality is crucial in quantum physics, highlighting the dual nature of light and matter and ...

(Phys.org)—Light behaves both as a particle and as a wave. Since the days of Einstein, scientists have been trying to directly observe both of these aspects of light at the same time. Now ...

A subatomic particle called the muon is wobbling far more than leading physics models can explain. Its unusual behavior could be evidence of a fifth force of nature or a new dimension. Scientists ...
