Standing waves are involved in various fundamental, natural phenomena over a wide range of scales, that is, from electron orbitals to planetary oscillations. Interactions between standing waves and ...
In the past, demonstrations of standing-wave phenomena could be done using an actual, physical transmission-line setup called “Lecher Lines.” 1 This method required laborious measurements to determine ...
Charge density waves (CDWs) are ordered, crystal-like patterns in the arrangement of electrons that spontaneously form inside ...
Wave-particle duality is a fundamental fact of the Universe. But we don’t see many objects moving around as waves. This is why it hurts when a golf ball hits you on the head: you and the golf ball are ...

Physicists have finally watched positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter twin, behave like a rippling quantum wave instead of a tiny billiard ball. In a set of ...
