Astronomers have announced the detection of the imprint of primordial 'gravitational waves' that originated in the Big Bang that created our Universe 13.8 billion years ago. The discovery has been ...

Since that time, LIGO has risen into the double digits with the number of detections it's made, as gravitational waves are now undoubtedly real and teaching us an incredible amount about our Universe.

An elegantly simple experiment with floating particles self-assembling in response to sound waves has provided a new framework for studying how seemingly lifelike behaviors emerge in response to ...

Quantum mechanics predicts that photons, particles of light, are both particles and waves simultaneously. Reporting in Science, physicists give a new demonstration of this wave-particle duality of ...

Particles or waves traveling through disordered media are scattered at small impurities. Surprisingly, the density of these impurities does not affect the overall dwell time the particle -- or ...

Nikola Tesla - Understanding Electricity - Particles and Waves. To understand some important aspects of electromagnetic field behavior, it will simplify matters to think for a moment about an ...

While laser tweezers can steer much smaller microscopic objects, sound waves can hoist micrometer- to centimeter-sized cargo (SN: 10/27/18, p. 16).The new device’s 40-kilohertz sound waves can ...
