The Synthesis of "wave-particle duality"

Discover the core principle of quantum mechanics where particles exhibit both wave and particle properties, underpinning much of modern technology.

Discover the basics of quantum mechanics, the science of the very small, and learn how it powers today's technology and is shaping our future.

A simple guide to the fundamental limit in quantum physics that states we cannot know a particle's exact position and speed simultaneously.

An explainer on the photon, the fundamental particle of light, its role in new technology, and its impact on our everyday lives.

Discover Planck's constant (h), the fundamental value that defines the quantum world and underpins modern technologies like lasers and computers.

Discover quantum entanglement, the bizarre link between particles that Einstein called "spooky action," and its role in future technology.

An introduction to transverse waves, where oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer, and their role in our everyday lives.

Discover quantum tunneling, the bizarre phenomenon where particles pass through solid barriers, enabling technologies from flash memory to quantum computing.

An introduction to particle physics, exploring the fundamental particles of matter and the technologies it has spawned that impact our daily lives.

Discover how wave interference, the meeting of two or more waves, creates everything from noise-canceling tech to the colors on a soap bubble.
