Physics is simple. In fact, it never ceases to astonish me how, with a few simple ideas from physics in your suitcase, you can travel from your own backyard to the most exotic realms of the universe, ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

When two or more light waves interact with one another, they result in the formation of different interference patterns. British physicist Thomas Young first demonstrated and explained these patterns ...

“Positronium is the simplest atom composed of equal-mass constituents, and until it self-annihilates, it behaves as a neutral ...

A group of international researchers have developed a way to use sound to generate different types of wave patterns on the surface of water and use those patterns to precisely control and steer ...

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 ...

Where there's water, there are waves. But what if you could bend water waves to your will to move floating objects? Scientists have now developed a technique to merge waves in a water tank to produce ...

Fig. 2: Interference of plane waves can create topological structures by water spin, polarization, velocity and displacement. a, A single plane wave propagating along the x axis carrying ...
