According to quantum mechanics, the physics theory that describes the zoo of subatomic particles, all matter can be described as both particles and waves. But is it real? When you purchase through ...

Physicists from the Canadian Institute for Measurement Standards are the first to measure a quantum mechanical wave function. And it only took 88 years from the formulation of Schroedinger’s equation!

Wave speed is a measure of how quickly the wave travels from its source. Its value is the same as the distance covered by a wave in one second. Speed is measured in metres per second \(m\,s^{-1}\) and ...
