firing electrons at two slits was found to produce wave-like distributions on the other side. These distributions would ...

New data identify gyro-resonant wave–particle interactions as the culprit. According to the radial diffusion model, electrons are transported to within 2.5 Earth radii (Re) during magnetic ...

But the exact nature of light, and how it travels, has long puzzled scientists. One question in particular has vexed thinkers from Issac Newton to Albert Einstein: Is light a particle or a wave?

Dr. Raptis believes that studying phenomena across different scales is crucial for understanding nature. "Most of our research focuses on either small-scale effects, like wave-particle ...

In fact, in a lot of experiments light acts much more like a wave than like a particle. This wave nature produces some interesting effects. For example, if an electron traveling around a nucleus ...

NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites have observed bird-like chorus waves in the Earth's mid-tail neutral sheet, ...

This stated that there was a dual nature to things -- an electron was a wave and a particle, for example -- but we could only perceive one side of that dual nature. A sphere, for instance ...

NASA's MMS mission discovered whistler-mode chorus waves in an unexpected region, the terrestrial mid-tail neutral sheet, ...

Photoemission is a process during which electrons are ejected from a metal surface when exposed to electromagnetic radiation, (eg ultraviolet). If a clean, positively charged zinc plate is exposed ...
