Caveat lector: I begin by reminding you that I am not a physicist. But I want to draw attention to a well-known feature of the Schrodinger equation that I have never heard discussed and wonder at its ...

[Stoppi] has taken on a fascinating project involving the interference of thin layers, a phenomenon often observed in everyday life but rarely explored in such depth. This project delves into the ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

The interference of sound waves is not just of academic interest. For instance, it is the operating principle of noise-cancelling headphones. These create their own sound vibrations, which are tuned ...

Molecular paths: The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the ...

To the recording studio to study interference and diffraction of sound waves. Unit 6 Segment D: Sound: Diffraction and Interference We head back to the recording studio to study interference and ...

Novel type of quantum interference enables single-molecule switch with high on/off ratio. Credit: Julia Greenwald and Suman Gunasekaran/Columbia Engineering A single-molecule switch that operates via ...

Perhaps one of the most famous experiments in physics has been giving us the wrong message all these years. For nearly two centuries, the double-slit experiment has been providing a direct visual ...
